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

[Azurus]

i think people just need to look at it differently and it all can work, give a gladiator a different weapon and he has a different skill set. instead of thinking class tied to weapon, think job/skills tied to weapon, the class just has 2 different ways to play it. hell its as easy as making 2 "classes" both called gladiator, the only thing is if u equip a 2 hander u have the one gladiators skills, u switch to sword and shield u become the other gladiator. I think this system would appease everyone.

That sounds very FFXI-ish

A sam with a polearm was still a sam, but he had that sweet penta thrust

Not a bad idea honestly. If they find a way to keep classes and work jobs out, man this game is going to be very GODLY. That's just this man's opinion.
