How would you feel if they scrapped the current "classes"?

[Kimahri]

Nowhere in that article does it say classes have specific roles. I'm not sure that article adds anything new to this discussion actually.

Are you serious, Gifthorse? Did you just skip the text highlighted in bold? Let me revisit that text and provide a clue to you.

"Groups will need to work together each managing the tasks of THEIR specific role."

Now that I put that in it's own space, did you read it now? How hard is this topic? Are you being willfully stupid right now? I'm getting so sick of unintellegent people, like you, that try and throw away common logic and supplement in their own. You're as dumb as the day is long.

Tell me, Gifthorse. How in the world are they going to solve the problems of every class being overpowered by throwing advanced jobs into the mix? How are they going to solve it by throwing in more abilities? THEY JUST CAN'T! They can only solve this by limiting the abilities already in place to make the classes more SPECIFIC to THEIR roles!

Why would they already bring in more advanced classes when it took years to come out with those in the RoZ expansion in FFXI? Why? Can you tell me why? No? I thought so. It would be a rather bad decision on SE's part to already assign new advanced jobs to a game that hasn't even spread it's wings in terms of developing a solid background for the basic classes.

The only thing I see in your post is that I can agree with is that they need to make the classes more specific. I'm not using the world special. Stupid word. There should be NO reason......NO REASON......That a class can do ANYTHING they want......That defeats the whole purpose of this system! In FFXIII when Snow used Sentinel he could not attack while defending! He had counterattack, but he had to lower his defense to do it! And get hit first! That's what I like to call a consequence....Which I see nothing of in FFXIV when I choose Pugilist to attack, cure, debuff, buff me, and cast shock spikes on myself.....Is that a consequence? NO!

Do you know the reason why FFXI lasted 9 years? 9 years! Is because it was a great game with great mechanics! A Job was SPECIFIC from other jobs! If I wanted to be a tank, I could be a Gladiator or a Ninja. If I wanted to be a Healer, I could pick White Mage or Scholar. If I wanted to enhance the party, I could be a Bard.....The list goes on! Why in the hell would you want to wrap all that into a single class and call it better? It's not! It takes the fun out of the game!

I'm done. Your posts from here on out are just going to be ignored from me. Quite frankly I don't even think you have a brain. Because only an idiot would read a post that clearly defined their intentions of how the Armoury System was meant to be and say that's not what they meant. Gifthorse.......Don't post here anymore......You have absolutely nothing.....And I'm not joking.....Nothing to say that makes any great defense for your case.
