How would you feel if they scrapped the current "classes"?

I seem to remember in XI that jobs were still bound to a single weapon because one was always optimal over the others and if you were, say, a warrior using anything other than a great axe you were generally blacklisted from group activities by the population at large.

That's not true. Although you mostly seen a Warrior dual wielding axes, and a Samurai using a Great Katana, it was mostly used for Leveling/Meriting. In truth, at the endgame scene of the spectrum(Not HNM.....) you would see a wide variety of weapons used. Especially in such area's as Sea in the CoP expansion. For instance when trying to get the pop items, a lot of the NM's were immune to certain types of attacks, (Blunt, Slashing, Piercing) and you would always see different weapon usage for different enemies.

Back in the day of Sky, I always remembered Warrior/Thief using a Great Axe over Axes because it dealt far more damage.
