Petition to Remove Classes & Just Have Jobs

[MizoreShirayuki]

Greetings!

As many of you know, the introduction of the Job system has brought focus to an unfocused system. Yet that focus has also brought with it a sense of redundancy.

Why should anyone go PGL when they can go MNK? Why should anyone go GLA PLD when there's GLA? The need for classes anymore, even for solo play, just isn't there (PLD excluded from this statement).

The class system is supposed to be used for solo play and the job system for party play, but last time I checked jobs can solo just as well as classes (WHM excluded). Solo in an MMO means fighting mobs around your level, not 15-20 levels above you.

Having both systems in place puts a burden on player inventories because not only do I have to carry around my PLD gear for when I go afk in town, but now I have to carry a set of gear for GLA when I go do stuff solo or in parties. This concept can be applied to any class/job combination and puts a hefty strain of inventories when your carrying around full sets of gear for GLA/PLD, THM/BLM, LNC/DRG, etc, especially when inventory is supposed to go back to 100 slots in V2.0.

Sure player's feelings might get hurt if classes are scrapped, but didn't people say this exact same thing when a reward system was offered to player's for guild mark reimbursement? Just offer similar reimbursement to people that leveled classes.

In closing, having both Class & Job systems in the game is redundant and nothing more than eye candy to lure new players into seeing all the things they can "level". Maybe this is SE's way of making people actually buy extra retainers? I don't know.. but one system has to go... because my inventory isn't big enough for 20 sets of gear.

This. Don't like classes, don't use them, but they serve a purpose.

I'm beginning to wonder if you actually play the game or just post on the forums...

Jobs are not mature enough yet to really call them better than the classes. Personally I do hope they evolve into great specialty roles and eventually phase out the class system, but right now is not that time.

Want to kite? use gladiator, want to straight tank? use paladin
one great example of how a class is better then a job depending on the fight
