Hi there guys,

I've been un-subbed since a month before the release of the Leviathan patch. The reason I left is because I got bored of playing my jobs and classes the same way. The only variety I experienced with my bard was merely upgrading gear and seeing more DPS output. This was interesting for a while, but got stale real fast, especially since everyone else was also forced into playing the same way.

I just recently tried out WoW, (good but nowhere near the potential that FFXIV has) and while playing, I couldn't help but continually tell myself things like, "Hmm, this system is just what FFXIV needs". The system I'm referring to is the ability to change specs. Wouldn't it be cool if a Paladin had the option of choosing between a sword and shield, greatsword (or hammer), or a staff? Or even just a choice of 2 weapons? This choice would alter the way you play the job (tank, DPS, healer), and would add variety and uniqueness to the game. It seems like a logical thing for an expansion but this would go against the philosophy that Yoshi seems to be operating under (simple). I believe a system like this could be implemented without complicating the game too much. In my opinion, this is the area in which this game fails miserably (depth and variety).

Do you guys think that this may be implemented at some point during the life of the game? It's probably what it would take to make me return. Thanks in advance for your responses guys.
