[dev 1032] What's wrong with job/subjob again?

[Reika]

The current system is not the only reason the game is in bad shape but it is one of the reasons. For example say I levelled every class to R50 but 1. So I start levelling that class do you really think being able to pick R50 abilities from every other class I have levelled for a R1 class is balance. No it isn't, the system needs balance and a lot of it, one of the main reasons that most skills and abilities are all meh is because if they were actually any good everyone would level to get them and make a super class that pwns everything.

So the system needs balance, Job/Sub Job was a form of balance which still allowed classes to be different and effective. If SE can make the current system work, keep balance and make classes different and effective then great I'm all for it. However I am not happy with the current system because of how it ruins classes from being different and effective it just makes them all meh with nothing special about them.

The AC system keeps the balance.

This. There are only so many points that can be distributed. Also, there's affinity to keep in mind. Sure, somebody can farm massive numbers of guild marks for each class they need to boost said affinities, but if they spend that much time gaining that many guildmarks, it SHOULD give them some benefits.
