Remove the Class System in 3.0

[Mysteran]

The second reason is that I like one class being able to split into different roles like Summoner and Scholar. They should keep doing that, they just need to make bonus points a per-job thing when the split causes you to use a new primary stat.
The idea you're limiting jobs to X weapons or Y skills is artificial and fixable.

My real disagreement with the system they have in place now is that the class and job share levels. I'd love to see you unlock a new job but it starts at level 1 (or hey, it starts at 30, why not...) but has its own advancement in levels from there. Your example brings up the big problem with it. Summoner and Scholar. I focused on Scholar before anything in 2.0, was my first 50. And you know what? I magically had a level 50 Summoner too that I just had to do a handful of quests to unlock.

It'll be the same if they add new jobs to existing classes if the system stays as is. Something has to change. If, for example, in 3.0 they add Dark Knight as a job for... i dunno. Lets say Gladiator because swords (Really, Just using it as an example, not saying it will or should be this class or anything of the sort). That means a level 50 Paladin just has to do about five quests or so, then they have a level 50 Dark Knight.
