Has the development team decided on Class vs Job relationship/progression?

[Scotchio]

I would go for option 2 or even an option 3, that all new jobs would require an different starting class.

The reason is, on option 1, if your already 50 Maruder, you do the Beast Master job quest and you're already lvl 50 Beast Master?

If a new job appears, I for one would prefer to start as lvl 1 and work my my up. I beleive the devs would too. To give players more content to play (call it a time sink if you will, but I would prefer it).

Option 2 requires that new jobs exactly that. For every new Job added, they would need to add a new Class as well.

In the Option 2 picture it shows Beast Master getting Tamer as it's class. They are just throw away names, but at least gives us an idea of what each other is talking about when we try to discuss.
