I'm not wasting my time making posts that people basically ignore every point I make and respond that they just don't like it and want absolute freedom. The ironic thing is people who post both that they want even more freedom from the current system than the insane amount it has, and also they want classes to have more definition. The fact some people can't understand why these are mutually exclusive proves I am wasting my time here.

Who wants to play a game with basically no rules? In a year, even slow levelers are going to have leveled all the classes to 50. Basically a big grind just so they can have a super character, that would be like everyone else. There are a few little individual snowflakes that will make a poor combination of abilities and expect to be able to join groups, and not be accepted because the only choice devs will have then is to make content based on the average gamer who is using the most powerful combo in the game. If content is designed for 8 people, it will be 8 people with the best or close to best combinations of skills. 8 snowflakes will have no hope of completing it.

The mindset of gamers today is so different than when I was young. Playing the original FF and DW games in elementary school, myself and my friends goals were to beat the game as fast as possible, at the lowest possible levels. We would replay them and try to beat each other in this way. This made games challenging because rather than grind yourself to god status and destroy everything, you had to actually pay attention. I'm not sure what point it became about grinding for grinding sake for most players, where time spent meant you were skilled, but this is another side of what a totally free system will allow. The most hardcore grinders will grind out all classes asap, putting everyone else into catch up mode so they can become viable for endgame. Players who don't enjoy spending time grinding repetitive bullshit will quit, and the people who stay will pat themselves on the back for being hardcore. If anyone complains at this point, the mouthbreathers who stayed will mock them and say they don't have skill.

If you want ultimate freedom, find some 13 year olds to play D&D with. I have little doubt that the new team is smart enough to realize how shitty of an idea it is though and from now on I will just enjoy the tears of those who make no actual content in their posts, but just whine and throw out slogans.
You are right, arguing with fools like yourself is a waste of time. Imposing your will on others is a great method of argument. It's really engrossing and helps people to grow.

D&D is so bad btw, that's why no one plays it... it gives the player freedom, how dare they not be forced into rigid roles with rigid restrictions because poor baby Siat failed art class and can't come up with a character on his own. Hopefully you'll quit before your illogical, irrational, and inane banter spreads to others.
