Sorry can't agree.
The armoury system didn't work, DoL & DoH were supposed to be on an equal footing with DoW & DoM and participate alongside them, it didn't take long before it was clear that was dumb idea.
Then they added jobs, which the armoury system was never meant to have at all. Why did they add them? Because the armoury system was a failure and people were crying.
If you like the armoury system thats fine, but don't tell me its good because it never worked from day one.

What you have given me is not the real reason its the fanboy/white knight reason.
