I disagree with this. I like to know what a class is capable of, just by knowing the class.

There should be more items and gear in the game to satisfy the Hunter/Gatherer urges among us. We needn't complicate the game by added skills/spells to that list.

On top of that, why should spell casters be burdened where melee classes are not? No one ever had to go camp an NM or do a quest in FFXI to learn their list of weapon skills (Save for the specific example of their last one, a case which I'm happy to see extended to casters. If Ancient Magic were any good, I'd be okay with it being unlocked via a quest or scroll but that's an exception not the rule.)
