Jobs and Titles

One of the things I'm worried about is hearing people complain about how they can't solo as well on Jobs as they can on classes. I can understand a sense of familiarity and a connection with past Final Fantasy game, I can understand that. But to desperately cling to things and refuse to try new things is borderline. I've said it in previous posts, what are we going to do with a divided community, ones that like classes and play as them and the rest that are hung up on jobs and refuse to let people play anything else? I'm not looking forward to that.

well in a solo situation, if someone is unwilling to play as a class rather than his beloved job even though it is clearly stated that jobs are for party setups and classes allows for more flexibility in soloing, then it's his problem.

That aside, a person can stay on his job and go grind in party and never solo. There are a lot of options for grouping.

My concern lies more with the whole thing XI had of "sub NIN or GTFO" and people getting extremely narrow-minded and one way in their thinking when it comes to playing the game. The only thing about XI's Job System I don't like isn't the system itself; instead its what the community made from it. "It has to be this, this, and this. We won't accept anything else." And since those same people can't wrap their minds around the Class System, they're demanding Jobs so they can go back to doing that again.

Hmm I see, well since there will be no sub-jobs I don't see that happening. Meaning that when you are a paladin, you have all the necessary abilities (if you acquired them of course) to do your role. What might be requested is having X or X abilities equiped.

If they give me the ability to have different action bars stored per class/job then I like the sound of that. I sometimes avoid doing certain things on other classes just for the sake of not screwing with the action bar. Laziness ftw = D

As far as the community demanding me to switch to my job for certain group events, I'm cool with that. I'd actually look forward to the whole filling a specific role stuff. Instead of that whole row I take up for buffing, healing, siphon mp, etc. for soloing on my pugilist, I'll have an entire monk setup for damage-dealing and/or evade tanking. Then being able to switch back to my solo setup later. That sounds good to me. Like I mentioned above though, let me make the switch easily regarding my attributes & action bars. Then I would really enjoy it.
