GLA, GLD and a possible GSM

[Archadius]

GSM = Goldsmith, this was confusing for many players who originated from FFXI, and in turn makes it confusing for new players because some of us veterans refer to it as GSM instead of GLD lol

Also, tbh I think either GLA or GLD is ok for Gladiator, GLA being the first 3 letters, and GLD sounds like PLD (which is really all they are good for anyways!)

Looking forward to this change.

GLD should definitely be changed to GSM. Everyone calls it a GSM anyways lol. Either GLA or GLD would work for gladiator. But like Archadius said, GLD could be confused for PLD when it comes out, so GLA would be best.

I always hear "AK-47s for everyone!" when I see GLA.

I don't think the same kind of confusion would arise from GLD and PLD. If that was the case, then we'd get ASM and BSM mixed up as well, but we don't. At least I don't.

But, isn't it ARM, not ASM?

We finally got the OK to make these changes, so they will be going live in 1.19. Thanks for the posts everyone, and I hope you all find the new class abbreviations easier to understand.

Gladiator = GLA (no change)
Goldsmith = GSM (changed from GLD, because of similarity to Gladiator)
Leatherworker = LTW (changed from TAN, thanks Enyyx!)
Conjurer = CNJ (changed from CON, just because)

(braces self for further outcries...)

Love the changes, except I feel that GLA should probably become GLD (people will get used to it after a week or two, trust me). This change will also benefit new players, methinks.

They may want to consider changing Gladiator to GLD because my fingers are really stupid ; ;
