In short, if you don't like it, leave.
While this is a terrible attitude to take, I agree somewhat. This isn't a game about compelling character building. It's really more about having the ability to make a character that can do everything to the fullest. There are certainly better examples of character customization than FFXI, which isn't actually very deep in that way, but more to the point, I hope that they do make new skills post expansion CC. They made very few higher level skills cross class at the 2.0 launch and I hope that isn't indicative of their intentions to make cross class skills always be extremely accessible without getting invested in the class the skill is from. Personally I would like to see some means of differentiating players who are playing the same class, but since it's an MMO they have to be very tight with the balance. If one option is more than .05% better then everyone will flock to that and ignore anything else. I'd like to see them implement something where this isn't a problem because the paths you have to choose from are so different that you can't compare them directly.
