Players need job/class combo info ASAP to have time to prepare.

Plan for the loss of expectation. For the lack of a desired job. To have the desired job ready in time. If you wanted to heal and con got blm. If you wanted to nuke and con got whm.

People have choices to make that take time to implement. Just as the devs need time to develop content, players need time to react to development decisions. You can't just spring crap on people. Sometimes surprises aren't good.

The devs will give Job info if they feel we need it. want != need. By not giving us the info before the jobs are released, all the players are on a level playing field more or less. By releasing info beforehand, only the players that pour over the forums will have an advantage. We don't need the devs to give us any info beforehand.

Well at that point you're pretty much grasping at straws to disagree. We all found out Osama was dead pretty damn fast. Word would spread quickly once the job rotations were released, acutely enough to "surprise" you if you want it.

This is really a no-brainer, without any reason not to release the info. Just needed said is all.

I would rather know if my house will crumble so I can prepare and not be inside when it happens.

What does that have to do with anything? we still don't need job info, it'll just create needless speculation anyway that will more than likely be way off base. You can tell that just by reading any of the threads on this forum. Forum goers hang on the devs every word attempting to twist them into their vision of what they believe the devs to be working on, only to be way off base when the actual patch is released. It happens every time, job info would be no different.

[Peregrine]

Yeah you know you're done when reality would go the opposite way of what you claim it will.
Releasing the job roster will cause less speculation, not more.
Like I said, there's no reason to not release the job roster as soon as it gets approval.

the point is, nothing in the game now is like whm, if they decide to make your job like whm, change the skills around so its a better whm, and give it special abilities and a specialized role of whm, many people would like to know before time so by the time their peer groups and friends are playing new content they dont get either forced to play a job role they hate, or stuck trying to relevel the job while all their friends are going through the new content on their jobs that arent totally different.

Why do think people speculate? It's because there is no solid information.

Just a thought, they used GLA to become PLD as an exemple, but was it confirmed to be 100% correct?
What is GLA were to become DRK and Sentinel to unlock PLD?

Paladin was just an example so it's not confirmed. Oh and sentinel isn't really a class.

Let's put it this way. I like PGL. I like tanking on my PGL. At the moment, there's no problem with this, aside from my not having a few other classes quite up to par for tanking abilities.

Now, everyone seems to think that PGL is getting MNK as a job, and that MNK is going to be a DD job. Now, this would also be fine with me, because I love melee DD. However, it would be nice to know if GLA is getting the only tanking job, because otherwise my LS is losing a tank for party content. If I need to level GLA in order to tank the new content, I'd like to know now, so I can actually help my LS do the new content. Heck, they don't even really need to give out class names, just something like "Hey, guys, GLA job will be the tank, CON job will be DD, ARC job will one-shot everything." Then we'd all at least have an idea what to expect and what to prepare for. Nobody wants to unlock a job just to find out it doesn't do the job they hoped, and now they need to go level a whole other class. . .
