Interesting character as always Gifthorse. I actually enjoy your posts because they challenge the opposition on this forum which are a vast majority while maintaining a good tone and not stooping down to a personal level. I commend you for it, regardless of what most say here, i personally don't believe you're a troll, alas there is a silly notion here that if you oppose the game in any sense, you're a troll. I can clearly see however from your previous posts that you're attached to Tanaka's vision which i am not fond of, but that's your own right. That said, you raise some good points and questions there.

I do disagree with your Armory system vision, i've personally hated the Armory system and feel it's full of flaws but i agree with many other points you raise. I do also agree with you that job system as a 2nd layer on top of Armory system is not a wise idea and will potentially produce many probs down the line and be a source of redundancy and imbalance. Though contrary to your goal of saving Armory system, i'm more for saving the job system.

Anyhow, i'm interested to also put my mind to rest with where this game is headed. It feels like the game is causing more confusion with every patch introduced. Valid post, Valid concerns. Perhaps it will get through to dev team.
