    Except most dungeons also drop weapons...so yes, changing mid-raid can impact that

    this would be the only good argument against this that I can see, but this can simply be resolved during forming a party if there would be any issues. Also DF currently doesn't discriminate between choose classes based on what job they are, its simple role (tank,healer,dps) so this really wouldn't change anything for DF either.

    versatility. And this is a hallmark sign that someone doesn't have an argument, when they can't give any reason other than "what about you?"

    So why stop there? Why not let people change freely?

    Sort of an ironic statement to make given your last few posts have just been "no one can offer me a good reason not to" over and over >_>

    Violates PF role restrictions, creates weapon looting issues, creates class specific gear looting (none yet, some may come?) issues, disrupts encounter balance, devalues party composition planning and hampers party performance analysis.

    So, what do you got, other than "it'd be nice"?

    Allows players to correct DF-formed party stacking (2x WHM becoming WHM+SCH, for instance) to build LB faster, allows people to switch to a better-geared or more suitable class if stuck in a dungeon (like if a 2x BLM party can't finish Demon Wall smoothly), allows players to reactively choose appropriately between job and class when doing duty roulette (based on pre-30 or post-30 dungeon assignment). . .

    I might be able to come up with more, but I'm mostly just playing devil's advocate. I don't care that much, really.

    wish it was trolling instead of stu...nevermind.

    listen, if you're going to make the frankly delusional choice in your head to be an armchair dev, you have to at least provide good solid reasons for changing the mechanics that the actual devs implemented.

    you haven't done that in the least, making this thread lol
