There is no other justification for their existence, not in a fantasy world nor in real life. That's what you do! That's what you've been created to do. If you don't find it engaging, then goddamn it son. Don't do it.
DoW/M act in the exact same capacity as Gatherers. They obtain items for crafters to use to make items for EVERYONE. Crafters don't just make things for Combat classes. They make items for everyone. DoW support DoL/H by obtaining items that can only be aquired through fighting. There ability to fight is not relevant to story progression. There are ways to impliment quests and activities that do not require combat. DoW/M are not more nessisary in this game than any other class.

Someone sighted the fact that the Player Pole said that people want the Dev team to Focus only on DoW/M and that they wanted to play DoL alone. This pole was not set up in a sufficient manner for you to draw those conclusions. People were forced to pick one option. Picking DoW/M was most common because it was the most broken. That is no longer the case. A new player pole, which we have been in serious need of, would show very different results now.

The number pointing to people playing DoL alone only goes to show that the game was biasedly forcing players to do so. There was no way to do it in a group, so players did it alone. If there were any Group DoL mechanics you would see people doing DoL in groups. That I can guarantee.
