Job Personalization: Can I Have It?

[LandricFrey]

Theres a simple way to tell of the negative consequences, you look at other games that did it, the same way people found out that standing in fire is you know.. Bad. It has documented reasons as to why it can be bad and often times is bad.

I've lost track of all the MMO's I've played over the past 15+ years that have had class builds and I can tell you that I, nor anyone I've known has never stopped playing a single one because of the class system. The real reasons are along the lines of muddy graphics, ugly character models, cringe-worthy stories, toxic communities, lack of content, major glitches, but never the class customization.

So why have many games opted out then? A trend that began with the big "W." and when you have a game that was that successful, of course the competition will follow suite, whether it was a good idea or not.

One of the major reasons people said they stopped playing WoW in cataclysm was because Blizzard kept flip flopping on what class/specs where good for the time
