Remove the Class System in 3.0

Akiza's motivation for this suggestion is rooted in his/her desire to have the summoner split off from the scholar with the hope that the summoner class will be re-implemented as the FFXI summoner. This will probably not happen. With that in mind, I actually tend to prefer the current system under the condition more classes will have access to multiple jobs. I tend to fall in the camp that getting to the level cap means you've completed the tutorial (SE did give us a nice story), but the bulk of the game is spent doing activities at the level cap. The fact that players will have multiple jobs at 50 isn't a big deal since those jobs won't necessarily geared the same.. In addition, this is probably the best way to bring a duel role system in, which provides more flexibility to players, and if implemented in the duty finder (letting people register for a role with a given class), this would be a good way to reduce queue times.

With how many complaints there are about summoner and their egis, I could very easily see them radically changing summoner in 3.0. If they decide to do that, why not break it from scholar? Having two jobs split from one class that has a set guideline for skill limits is severely hindering creativity on the developers' part. You can't design a job to the maximum potential of enjoyment when you have to make compromises to fit a mold.
