And it really does make sense not to flesh out a system you don't want to have anymore in the first place. You softly phase it out.
At that point your class growth looks half-assed, though. It's like building a house out of wood and then changing your mind half way and building the rest out of fiberglass. Not only would it look wrong, but it would also have structural issues. And as seen with this current situation, you get complaints on both sides.

The same lack of understanding of cohesiveness is why all leveling BRDs hit that point where they get blindsided by Wanderer's Minuet the moment they hit lv52, instead of making the design a complete experience to new players picking up the job while the old players reminisce about how it used to be.
