Idea: Class split idea for all jobs

[Shurrikhan]

I really like a lot of the concepts OP came up with. I think that this is certainly something we could see making a resurgence in this game. Yes, everyone knows Yoshi-P said no. Genuinely asking here: Why did he say no?

Basically his same technique as in 1.x. If it got heavy backlash, even if fixable, he made himself the one stalwartly against the path/feature, indefinitely. Rather than fix the create-your-own job system, he said declared it problematic and impossible. Rather than fix battle regimen, he declared it useless and unsolvable. Rather than fix any meta-narrowing implications of incapacitation system (e.g. knocking frogs on their back, decapitating skeletons, de-horning giant buffalo), he declared it unfair and unsalvageable. Because some mob AIs were more dangerous than others and gave rise to certain player complaints, he removed them almost entirely (only remnants being the unique detection system of the (sound-based) ghosts in the latter half of Darkhold, which you can walk past, or at least still could at ARR's release).

As long as he can put packing up and bailing on an idea in a positive light, it's worked as a reactionary fan-drawing platform. It makes him look decisive. Nevermind however many similar mistakes follow, in the same vein, despite abandoning the idea outright.
