the future of classes in future content

[Kallera]

As heavensward's content gets released we will see our characters at level 60. With potentially new actions, jobs, quests and content to accommsurvivability 60 characters, I do have a question aleashe classes.

There was word that there would be changes to the class/job system in the future. As many people not chose their class at around 35. I do wonder What are those changes going to entail?

I think outright removal of the classes would be a step backward, and would take a lot of rework for what is pretty much removing potential improvement and versatility in the game. a class's survivability is also less important in the face of a leashed open world and limited solo challenges.

Alternatively, could classes be reworked into being viable in post 50 content? Designing them to be like jobs in their own right with actions that make for a different brand of dps, tanking, or healing than its job counterpart?

Or make classes more integral to the leveling process, in whatever level cap raising that we would need to do. Though that doesn't solve the underlying issue, I imagine the exp numbers tnl will be huge, and players will be looking for any boost in those numbers. Boosts that classes could provide.

Suggestions for involving classes in the expansion are welcome. Throwing up of hands...less welcome.
