Now the rest of your post I completely aggre with. There is absolutely nothing different about any class other than the fact that they are divided upon two groups. DoW & DoM. However! This is where we need to base our improvements. I do not want a cheap gimmick of FFXI slapped on a new skin of graphics. It might be fun for a year or two, but eventually it'll decay faster than FFXI actually did.

I would like to keep the classes as they are. Limit the other classes from obtaining the abilities of a certain class. Untie the weapon from the class, and base it back to the system of XI. Keep BR, but define & tweak it a little more. And down the future maybe implement a choice of either two avenue's each class could take to an advanced job. (Example: Say they raise the level cap to 75 again. Have the ability to choose either Paladin or Dark Knight from the base class of a Rank 50 Gladiator.)

This is just a few idea's, and yes my idea's could be refined even better. That's basically the whole point of these Forum's.
Sorry I used Utsusami as an example, the point I was trying to make is in FFXI there were restrictions that stopped you from taking the best abilities from each class and creating a super class. If FFXI was like this then everyone would level NIN for shadow's, everyone would level SAM for Hasso, Meditate, Third Eye, Siegan, everyone would level WAR for Berserk, War Cry, Aggressor, everyone would level RDM for Convert, Refresh and Haste and so on, it would be completely out of control.

That is what I fear is happening with the current system, already you have THM's that can solo the NM's which are designed for 15 people, how is that balance?

I have levelled MRD to 50 and started levelling all the other classes I have everything above R24 but I am mainly focusing on ARC now and even I can see how over powered I am becoming adding abilities like, ferocity, faint,invigorate, maim, still precision, skull sunder and so on, on top of my Archers already OP abilties. I can kill things way above what I should be doing and I have that many attack buff's and weapon skill's that most of the time I can't even use them all because everything is dead so quick.

They system need's to be seriously looked at because it is broken as hell at the minute.
