I've asked this before, but it's still confusing to me;
What is your goal with the class/job system? Why are classes ridiculously less powerful than their job counterparts, weren't jobs meant to be side-paths, not straight upgrades? High level equipment is usable by classes, but at the moment the game makes it feel like they shouldn't be.

I've leveled up my Conjurer to 50 without getting White Mage, and I'm now healing the hardmode primals and Crystal Tower with ease. But people don't seem to accept this. Most end-game equipment is usable for Conjurers, but the gear bought with Tomes of Mythology isn't. People still freak out when they see me, even when my item level is way over theirs. Why aren't classes getting the attention they deserve?
