Extend Classes into full Jobs?

[Spoekes]

/sigh

6 pages and you still don't get it.

yeah like all the others who do not share your honorable opinion.
Or maybe we get it but you might be wrong?

1. There is more to a Job than combat mechanics.

No. It's a game where you play dungeons and raids in a group setup. combat mechanics are the very heart of a job.

1. When upgrading Classes to full Jobs, they can add mechanics to differentiate the Class-now-Jobs from existing Jobs that branch off them.

I understand you do not like the current class system - that's fine.
But it looks like they are not gonna throw it away, so no, the few job skills will not be enough to differentiate playstyle of SMN and ACN...
...and I'd rather see some really new jobs or classes than a second SMN with different pets.
