Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Reynhart]

I want customization but I don't think it should come in jobs, only classes.

Classes are a nice starting point, yes. Problem is, without any new skill, they'd be way too weak to particpate in any content at 60.

Jobs are designed to fill one role, when they start filling others, all jobs start to feel very similar.

I'm not so sure of that. We already have several playing the same role very differently, it's not impossible for them to play another role in their own way.

But, you'd have to decide the base core of the classe regardless of its role. Basically, Arcanist (Still him ) is a pet class. That's his core. Therefore, if you make a pet tank, a pet DPS of a pet healer, Arcanist will still be the only (for now) pet class.

When the "Gun" job was annouced, several people thought about Chemist. If Machnist had a spec where it could use healing bullets with the same kind of procs between each other, it would still a unique gameplay.

Well that would be on SE shoulder's if they did pursue that, not ours. What is the point of customization, if there is no content that supports that? You know what I mean?
