Character lock outs is counterintuitive of the one character all class idea

[Deculture]

Leveling an alt really just takes away from this game. The armory system is the #1 reason I'm playing this game (I still don't know why other MMO devs haven't taken a page from 11/14's job system, it's brilliant) and it's just a shame to see such a great mechanic go to waste since SE essentially put in lockouts that are carbon copies of other generic MMOs with one class per character setups.

They have, Everquest next and Elder scrolls are both based around one character learning everything, elder scrolls you have 4 base classes, but you can mage/rogue/tank/heal whatever from any of those 4, and Everquest is going so far as your weapon determines 4 of your 8 active abilities, you cross class the other 4 from classes you have learned and unlocked. Still not as full on like the armory system, but it is quite a step away from a new alt for everything you want to do.

I'll just quote myself, as I already answered this topic in a different thread:

The real issue with being allowed to save locks per job is gear progression. If you run 9 jobs through coil per week, you could basically completely gear out your main class in just one week. Running 9 classes through the coil equals 9 weeks of gear progression. Bad idea.
