I am still waiting to see how it turns out... the announcements for change aren't the things that will make me quit. But as it is I've spent more time arguing on forums about this game than playing it, because it is largely more engaging to do so.

The potential in a job system working in correlation with the armory system are enormous. You can see that in the ideas that other forum goers have brought forth, potential for content, potential for character growth, potential for a more emotional connection between the players and their characters...

and SE seems to have largely ignored most of that potential.

You can almost hear the anxiety in Job Discussion posts... we want jobs to be awesome... And I know that I for one am not completely convinced they will be.

I know I am working with alot of speculation, but we don't really have much else to run with, and when I speculate on things my natural instinct is to look for where it can go wrong... I see alot of places this system can go wrong.
There is so very little known about the Job System right now that seeing posts of people so convinced it will destroy the Armoury system just does not make sense to me.

SE is well aware the game is on thin ice. Bickering on about whether or not their Job system will destroy the Armoury system with what little we know is an exercise in futility.

I support the notion of providing creative ideas as to how the Job system can be awesome alongside the Armoury system. People excited about it should and would be doing that.

Hopeless negativity is what I ignore. That hopeless negativity is often times combined with an unyielding sense of foresight that no one forum poster can convince otherwise.

So in the end, I will simply wait and see instead of attempt to convince people the Job system will destroy or compliment the Armoury system.
