The cross class system in 1.0 allowed for many variations on character and build, the most notable was the days of the Pugilist Tank which with the right cross class allowed it to do something different than simply being a DPS role.

The issue with the system now is it feels more like a leftover than anything as the job systems limit what can be cross classed as well. This creates a feeling that the player has no choice on cross class abilities. For example tanks MUST take Provoke and other cooldowns, there's no choice here making the system redundant as the skills could simply be built into the class.

Is there going to be any plan to change how this works in the future to something with more choice for the player? Is there any plan to introduce some other system of customization? Right now as it stands the game has little to no choice resulting in every character feeling very much the same as even gear has identical progression.
