We all know that. No one is arguing that it goes against the idea behind it. We're arguing that the idea itself is bad. If an idea is immensely disliked by the community, the development team should take a hint and do something about it. Their game philosophy is not immediately the best philosophy just because they're the creators. Please let them know that we do understand the purpose and intention of the merit system, but that we don't agree with it. Specialization is not meant to be in this game, nothing else supports that. The job system itself goes strictly against it, as does the ability to switch gear at will, two of the most defining properties of this game.
