What kinda GM was this?

Sounds like they are gearing up for something big. Battle patch to include the archanist job maybe? Personally I find that a bit presumptuos, but we can't just ignore that Archanist staff sitting on his back.

If you play Alchemist you would have seen that weapon on a NPC before as well claiming to be from the Archanist guild. If anything we might be getting new story events soon.

I take that as a sign they are keeping the other classes instead of scrapping them.
