    Except they do serve a purpose - it's just players can't stop looking at things through a FFXI-tinted prism. This isn't a Job system like FFXI, here you simply equip a weapon or tool, with the term 'class' little more than a euphemism for the abilities that are connected with the use of that weapon. This system has been FFXIV's selling point since version 1.0. A Job is just a piece of equipment that specializes in a class's role - a PLD is still just a fancy GLA with extra tanking abilities for instance. I don't find anything wrong with this system personally - like I said the community just needs to let go of FFXI's legacy and accept that FFXIV is a different game that has a different means of gameplay.

    Also I seriously doubt SE would scrap the Armoury System completely - not only would that require the entire game's battle system to be rebuilt from the ground up, a little common sense is required here. A new class has just been announced (Rogue), with another class long stated as being introduced as well (Musketeer). They're not going to announce all that just to then scrap it a few months later. No, classes are here to stay, they're not being replaced/phased out.
