I am promoting weapon specialist. And we can all realistically succumb to the armory system prevailing. Read my earlier post for a class, title, merit system. It could still appease your FFT ideas to some extent. And its the lesser change to the current system that wouldn't cause all currently faithful players to stage a usurp. But for another game your tree idea would do great. Example if they ever make a new WOW (not an expansion) but new graphics and interface.
