Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

[NadienKirisame]

Do you see how complicated everything has to be just so we keep classes?

Not complicated at all unless you are trying to make it that way... Also abilities are changing in ARR and you can already see it in the video where the CNJ has a water attack spell... They have also said all class/jobs are being reworked and mnk is getting some big changes...

I would say the class > job system is fine and they can always add more abilities to the jobs since it is not based on level but on quests. Also there are a lot of weapons/items that can be used to make more classes so I don't think we need to have 2 jobs to each class or more... I will also point out that I don't think that is how they are looking at it either since in an old interview Yoshi mentioned taking daggers out of the sword grouping to give to a scout class that would have the job ninja... so I think they are looking at more classes with a job coming from each class.

That's exactly what I said. However, people kept using that as a reason as to why they loved the classes. It made no sense. I clearly stated the class system can stay exactly the way it is if we just accept the fact that it's always going to be class > job > whatever they add in the future. Some people just think it's a waste of time. Hey that's their opinion. The branching system doesn't work. No Gladiator > PaladinDark/Knight nonsense.
