gifthorse i completely agree with you. i don't believe tearing down the classes as they are now is the way that we need to go. i believe the correct route is to find a way to advance what they have now to improve the system and make the classes more unique, but still allowing the players to customize their pug or thm or w/e other class they are playing. i, for one, do not want a class that is premade for me. i want to level multiple classes to make my character the way i want my character. if someone wants a thm and wants nothing else besides thm skills that is their choice and they are welcome to do so, but it's not my right to tell them they can't anymore than it is theirs to tell me i have to only level one class and use its abilities.

i still say the easiest thing to do is add some new skills and abilities that are obtained through the guilds and can only be used by the class you got it from their marks. this allows a thm to have abilities that nobody else can get or use. this makes class uniqueness that everyone is craving along with giving my character the ability to be built and customized the way i wish to do it.
