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

I think the only issue is figuring out a way to reimburse the players who already ranked up to 50 and allowing them to be equal in a reworked class system. All of the current classes' skill sets need to be redone.

That should be easy they know the total SP/EXP you have accumulated as even on lodestone you can see this in your profile, so they obviously have a system to that keeps track of everyone's total amount. All they would have to do is make the changes and then let everyone assign their SP to the classes that they choose.

Maybe let them reassign the SP 3 times or only for the first week after the first time they do it so they can try the new redone class and see if they still like it, if not then they could put the SP into a different class.

What? Listen, I hardly think they are, or even would take it that far. If anything, they would simply redesign the abilities and traits. Why in the hell would they completely scrap the different classes already in the game?

As for that Conjurer problem. They could simply keep it Conjurer yet only give it Black Mage abilities and traits, and Thaumaturge the White Mage end of the spectrum.

I would feel no sense of loss at all, but I highly doubt that they'll scrap classes at this point.

Yeah I suppose but you know there will be a lot of people who levelled CON to play WHM who would be pissed at such a thing. This is where I want to know how far SE will go. Are they willing to anger the few in to really fix the game and make it better in the long run, or will they try and put a plaster on it to try and not anger anyone but then we won't get true balance. Unless they come up with a way to keep everyone happy and keep balance within the classes.

I'm speaking for just myself here, but really I don't see a difference right now between either of the two DoM classes. I've leveled every class (DoW & DoM) so far half way and really see nothing different about them all. I would much rather be pissed over a single job to relevel than the whole glob of them.

[AlexiaKidd]

Oh yeah I agree and I want them to make changes, BIG changes and I really don't care what they do as long as it makes the game better. I just hope SE are brave enough to make the difficult decisions that need to be made to get the game back on track, even if it means angering a section of the current players now for greater benefit in the long run.

They are only going to have one chance to do this fix and if they do it wrong or half a job it will be a disaster for them, so I just hope they make the right one.

Time will only tell. Only way I'll drop this game is if they somehow make it completely worse. Haha!

Redesign all zones to be like The Black Shroud and remove map to make it more of an adventure ^^

Which I wouldn't mind but how would it work with the current mish mash of classes? Do you take CON to R50 then it stops, then you can branch off as a BLM or a WHM or do both? Or if you unlocked BLM at R30 and levelled it as a separate class to CON what would be the point when CON has pretty much all of BLM's spells.

I just think the current system has made a real mess of traditional classes and it will be hard to separate them or give you a reason to level them over the hybrid mish mash classes at the minute, but I would still like to hear what options people can give on this as it is something I am very interest in.

They are 'mess' as you call them because they aren't supposed to be jobs, they are supposed to be the means to that end.

OMG we know they are not "Jobs" or "Classes" and that is the problem, we want actual job's and classes with defined characteristics ><
