No separate Forum for each Class / Job?

[Yuff-Yuff]

Sounds like you feel you cant discuss what you want for fear of others coming in not particularly liking of your class and offering a different point of view. This would happen regardless. We generally seem to get more done and have better discussions the way its currently setup. Having multiple class forums has a few positives in most MMO where you can only play one class, but here you can play whatever, and if you play brd, drg,mnk,blm, thats already 4 sub forums to go through when they all have the same role.

Hm, that's a good point actually.
It just feels like it's missing something. I have nothing against the current system in particular, it's just.. I dunno, weird? Lost for words actually.

I don't use the sub forums. I click on New posts. So if they had a sub forum each class, it'd be lost on me.

Well, but if you wanted to find something out about a specific class, I guess you would just go there. It's basicly not the way you would handle a forum in general.

eh... not sure what exactly I'm reading here.

the .only. reason why I would maaaaybe understand this would be if people wanted to know 'unusual' things about their class, not related to the normal role. for example someone asking for the best dps rotation for a whm/cnj, since most whm/cnj folks will be found in the healing forums...

I'm just saying it's kinda unorganized and a few other points.
But as you say that, yeah. Where would you find guides, tips, collections of tools and other stuff and so on. You really can't just throw that into the DPS Forum, it would just simply be a huge mess.

Even if you did get a new system in which every class/job had a unique section in the forums it wouldn't make any difference. Every time someone posts it goes to the top of the New Posts section where everyone can see it. Therefore everyone can post on it. Also as a Tank u routinely go into the DD and Healer forums to see what is going on. Why you ask? To see what is going on to learn, no class is an island, its a party based game mode so you need co-operation not segregation. Finally just because someone doesn't play your class/job doesn't mean they can't give you some good advice healers and tanks should communicate especially but all classes should have discussion between themselves, we don't want a situation that involves a Dragoon posting on a bard page and people saying "Go away dragoon this is a bard thread you're not welcome!"

For what its worth Yuff-Yuff. I agree.

I like to go look at specific job threads.
