I don't care what gladiator means. If I tell you your name means short brunt does that make you short and oafish?
No, and Gladiator isn't acceptable just because you know what the name means.
Paladin. Now. End the string of mistakes. Kill those generic no-hope classes. Grinding 50 levels of a no-name moron sword user just to play a job of worth is a stupid idea.
A MMO where players make their own paladins is again, a stupid idea. It cannot work. You are not a paladin. You are a gimp. The only way you will ever be a paladin is if THEY design a paladin.
I see a lot of people who got burnt and made fun of in XI for playing how they want to play, and I'm sure the release FFXIV rewarded your mold-breaking snowflake.
But it's a 4/10 MMO your way. Sorry. It's not going to work. Delete the generics.
