i'll doubt they'll change how there stats work since they already re-did and said they were having issues doing it. once you stat editing mod's its a eternal web of code they have to edit.

all they need to do is let you equip other weapons and give each class different weapon skills for each. like sword will have different WS's if warrior equips it vs pld/gla that way we wont have a pure FFXI clone for equiping weapons
