People think DRK should come from Gladiator because Paladin does, and DRK and PLD are known opposite faces of the same medal, but then I say, why was not the same done for WHM and BLM? They too are alter egos of each other, yet they do not come from the same class. The principle is the same.
Yoshi P in an interview made an example of how class classes morph could change from job to job by using DRK coming from Gladiator, that is true, but he also made sure to stress that his was a mere example, and until I see an official announcement, that is what the Gladiator > DRK theory will be to me. An example. RDM has as many chances to come from Gladiator than DRK does, and maybe less excuses not to. Nine of the current jobs lead me to believe in the theory I exposed, and I'm the type to go by statistics.
tl;dr: Don't bash others opinions just because they are different than your own. Keep the topic constructive. "Nope" is not an answer when it comes to theorizing.
