This is why the dev team is introducing Jobs. Jobs are essentially roles for a party - enhancing the party gameplay.

It's an assumption to say that ranking GLA makes you an effective tank, or that ranking LNC makes you an effective DD.

Classes are not jobs.
If you are right, and jobs turn out to be as you say, I will have absolutely no problem with cross-classing. But as it stands, the class system is all we have. And like I said way back in my first post, I'm fine with the system for now, as long as we know changes are coming (which we do, just not definitive ones).
