Ffs 1000x this. Seriously. What is up with ppl hating anything that gives them more than one option. Are you all incapable of making good choices without someone telling you what the best choice is? Do you all lack the testicular fortitude and self-confidence to make a choice without being forced into one? Answer me dammit!

This job/class thing is stupid. And by stupid I mean the argument, not the fact that jobs/classes exist. The argument is stupid because it makes no damn sense. "Get rid of classes because...because because..." because why exactly? "Classes are redundant!" you say, but I vehemently disagree. Classes have access to a greater variety of abilities, thus they are different and fulfill different roles.

Jobs are specific. They can only do one thing. Now because jobs are in their infancy, they don't seem too different from classes, but they are quite different. GLA has access to diff abilities than PLD, arc than brd, war than mrd (not that this makes a big difference), and drg than lnc. Its self-sufficiency vs specialization. Jobs lock you in a really defined role, classes allow you to do your role while still remaining pretty flexible. The difference between these two concepts is huge, and you'd have to be a mentally challenged orc to not see it.


They coexist as a way to give us options. You now can choose how you want to play. If you never want to touch a job ever you do not have to. Screw playing BRD, you say, you want to do crazy dps with arc by spamming invigorate, keen flurries, etc etc. Screw PLD, you say, i'll keep GLA with all my taunts, provokes, prism cures, yadda yadda. In other words, jobs are not *derp* required. They are just an option. You never have to play a job ever, unless the group requires a really really specific role where you do one thing and nothing else. To make life easy on us, this is why SE did not force us to level jobs.


Now that we understand we can all stfu and stop this silly, nonsensical, ill-contrived, absurd argument.
