Why didn't 4th Job AoE's get a cooldown?

Before fourth jobs were ever conceived there were no problems finding Priests to level with. Right now, Bishops are like lawyers, a dime a dozen and only a handful of decent ones. If the ultimates were raped, all of the scrubby, useless Bishops who couldn't play their class anyway would quit, whereas the people who actually made a Bishop with the desire to help others and enjoyed the playstyle would still be around. I severely doubt there'd be any sort of drought if the ultimates were gimped.

I disagree. I often ran into problems finding a Priest to train with - more often than not. The main Priests that stayed around before 4th was announced already had their friends (usually elitist-based cliques or simply really close friends, whichever). There was a point where MS was getting really dead, due to people quitting until 4th job and the prospect of new, awesome skills.

When 4th was confirmed to come out in a month's time, suddenly TONS of people reappeared and TONS of new Priests starting appearing due to the knowledge of how great Genesis was going to be. Genesis itself created many new Priests/Bishops and gave many of the Priests/Bishops that quit a reason to continue and push on much farther.

Yeah, I can't deny Genesis also created countless worthless Bishops who suck hardcore at bossing. They can go sell leech; who cares. Genesis created many good Bishops and made several great Bishops return to MS, as well. If Genesis was removed, not only the crappy Bishops would quit. Just like before 4th job was announced, we'd start seeing a drop in all Bishops because many wouldn't see a point to keep leveling if they'd have to revert back to HS mules. And if they didn't quit completely, they'd simply come on to help boss - returning us to the problem of harder-to-find training partners.

Of course, most of what I said is already moot, anyways. Genesis will not be nerfed and definitely not removed. And even if it was, it created such a surplus of Bishops that even if half of them quit, we still wouldn't be at a loss for them.
