Is this on purpose?

One could perhaps think of it as a 'place-holder', more or less of what Camiie was saying I guess.

Something that is easy to remove/modify and which could possibly show future issues before it would become an actual issue.

On the test-server the job list at Status -> Job Levels is also different in size (or at least was the last time I checked, and seems like it can't be extended in a downwards motion but instead, it is wider (or was, haven't checked for a while now) though of course this does not explain why they're sort of there in the 'real' client at all).

They could also just enjoy teasing you all. ^^


Edit:

Oh, and it's entirely possible for someone not to know of the expansion, hence another someone mentioning it (serious or not), leading to the “of course I would know about it” leading to the “how should someone know you know”, you know?

Or at least that's how I see it.

well least you will be well practiced for when the expansion does come out. myself i dont care the ??? are there already. its not that big of a deal.

Also, maybe it in preparation for soemthing UI related comin down the pipes. like how they did spell icons ect. i wonder how much will they change? equip screens and other menus?

While we are on the topic of UI updates for the job menu would like to ask if the dev team plans on adding in new macro books for RNF (not sure if thats the right three letter) and GEO, i really enjoy having separate macro sets for different jobs even though i do not use all 10 macro pallets within a book for 1 job any more. still nice to have the separation.

Also to address the OP why does it really matter we know they are coming, even if its over a year out is it that much of a deal that you had to make a thread about it?

I was just asking a simple question, Christ you people are touchy.

This is going to drive all those poor people with OCD mad.

Told you it was for hype ... Judging by people's replies it is "working as intended ..." -_-;

You are the one getting all twisted up about it

I love watching arrogance take a prat fall.

It reminds me of when Aht urhgan was coming out were we had a few quests before the expansion that did nothing to help us that we thought, i bet there going set up the quest line earlier then normal then we get to unlocked them after few quest out in seekers. That way they build up the drama for the seekers. i think it would be crazy if they allowed us to unlocked now but can not play them lol.

Maybe hype, but could also be because they're planning graphic UI updates that precedes the expansion and using the ???s as placeholders for size/height of job window.

They did that with Rise of the Zillart, they did it with Treasure of Aht Urgan, and so they did with Wings of the Godess...

Only now there's a promise of UI revamp.
