SECOND Job Stones for base classes of ARR?

[kaynide]

As i said in one post above you: "the devs" said is no argument. Whats your personal argument on that?

The devs said earlier on that we never get to summon Titan, Garuda or Ifrit with the summoner (lore wise) and here we go (after years of player feedback).
Please give your own opinion instead of this "but the devs said". I guess we are on a discussion board here? Otherwise it feels very "fangirlish" (comply with the devs opinion).

I agree with the devs; I would rather a completely new job with completely new weapons, not “Paladin, but he’s a healer now”.

It doesn’t serve the game- having a player spend less time in game, by way of leveling jobs, loses revenue if you level two jobs at once. It uses dev resources that should be used elsewhere.

It doesn’t serve the player well, as a player might level job X exclusively on dps, then be pressured to heal or tank which they have no experience and possibly interest in doing. It’s not useful in niche situations like open world or solo quests because any job can do the content, so you don’t need to switch to something else to get over some hurdle.

Regarding summoner, there is a difference in a very minor mechanic/visual effect and and entire system/merging of two separate jobs.
