Scrap current classes or keep as is?

Thing is though it might piss a lot of people off but how many are we really talking, there aren't that many players and if doing this will get them more players than it will lose then they should do it.

People need to start looking at the bigger picture, the game hasn't done well. Yes there are many other reasons as to why it hasn't done well, it wasn't just the class system. However over 85% of people that completed the survey voted for DRASTIC CHANGE.

bigger picture yes

but force changing everyones jobs is not that picture

an overhaul of the combat system doesnt mean overhaul the jobs themselves

the only reason people want classic jobs, is because they are familiar with them, not because its a better system

But if losing 2000 current players by making this change gains them 10000 more players then it is something that they will consider. I am not saying that scrapping the system will do this of course I am just saying that they may be prepared to do it if they think enough people will come back if they were to scrap and rebuild.

people arent going to say "oh look they got rid of conjurer and added blm, im gonna play now"

sorry that aint happening

as i said, an overhaul of the battle system =/= an overhaul of the classes scrapping what we currently have, its very easy to see that

Did I say people would react like that, it would never be as simple as taking out CON and replacing with BLM.

For me I would be more happy as I have said many times before if they got rid of weapon=class and made proper jobs not the mish mash that we have now. Leave weapons for learning weapon skills only and keep the weapon skills tied to the weapon. Then have proper classes, so take CON split it into WHM and BLM and do whatever is necessary with the other classes to make them more Final Fantasy style. You could still allow cross class abilities and skills but also add traits to the classes that were unique. So for BLM you could have something to boost it's elemental nukes, WAR it could have double attack as one of it's traits, PLD would have one that boosts it's defence, DRK one to boost it's attack and so on.

Then of course allow me to transfer my total accumulated SP onto the new classes of my choice.

But that is just what I want, I could very well be in the minority with what I want and have to accept that. However I could very well be in the majority and then it is something SE would have to look into.
