This game needs depth, Please implement a second weapon (playstyle) for each job

SE also needs to stop being lazy; the Rogue/Ninja 'dual weapons as single weapon in main-hand slot' thing is absolutely stupid and needs to be redesigned. Even if that means not keeping their promise for a 2.4 release of the class/job.

Honestly, they aren't being lazy. As to how classes/jobs are now, some people are expecting way too much before the first expansion. As far as Rogue/Ninja and dual wields are concerned, I think that it's actually a good approach to it. It sucks having to obtain 2 of the same weapon, some you may not see for months depending on the content. I wish WoW had done this years ago, and not just for Rogues. I know that some classes have to do this to some degree already, but even so I think it was a good idea for SE to do this for Rogue and Ninja.

If this game had craftable gear that was at least somewhat on par with what you could get as dungeon drops (but not BiS, obviously), then this wouldn't be a problem.

It's not lazy. I don't think you comprehend the amount of time it'd take to properly implement something like that.

God damn. It's not about adding MORE jobs and classes, it's building depth onto the already existing ones.

Indeed. It would take so much time that no one has ever implemented systems anything like that in any game ever. And, I mean, Square doesn't have any experience working in MMOs that have classes that use multiple weapons, or anything.
