I think the one thing both sides can agree on.

The Dev Team is looking to possibly remove classes from the game 5.0+. They stated it would be resource intensive and over time.

They are going to have to redesign many of the class quests into job quests for this. As I just can't see "Welcome to XIV, you are level 30 to start" being acceptable with a leveling system. That would be the opportune time to work on their MSQ and Class/Job coding/flagging.

Potions or no potions, if they move forward with removing classes this only makes sense. I like many others just do not want the integrity of the main story butchered if they decided to slim it. It has to be done right or don't do it at all. Many ppl come to this game for the story compared to other MMOs on the market.
