Class system Discussion

[ZDamned]

-EDIT- My clarified point: Should Classes be re-worked, or Revamped to have use, or just be removed all together for the sake of better long term development. -Edit-

Am I the only one who feels that the classes are holding the game back a little?

Marauder, Gladiator, Conjurer, Thaumaturge, Archer, Pugilist, Lancer, Arcanist.

I just feel like these were concepts that were clung onto by the development team, but not truly made useful anymore. I know in some narrow circumstances, they are usable in the late game, but I don't feel like it's adding anything to the overall experience.

I want a discussion about this. It's my opinion, and I am curious is any others out here share it.

My idea about what could be done to replace it, is to have the in game guilds basically become melded into the story as the GC's militia men. But as warriors of the Light, Perhaps we should have just been bound to the special arts of the jobs.

Again though, this discussion I want is more about the class system holding the design back, my idea is totally worthless, even in my eyes.
