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

I think you've gone insane...

I don't know why you're holding that article up as though it's something we all have to answer to. But anyways, I think what they're trying to say is that you can change your class, and also switch roles too. Someone earlier mentioned how they can change class to gladiator, but also change their roles between tank and damage dealer. I'm pretty sure that's what the article is referring to. You can change both class, by switching weapons, or role, by switching up abilities.

But you should go back and read my whole post because you obviously need to. But I'm not surprised you didn't read it, you never read any of my posts. If your responses to them are anything to go by, that is.

Psst. Look up above this post....I think you'll notice I did write about your whole post.....And, um......Yeah....There you go again reading something and thinking they meant something different. If they didn't want to compare the two as the same, they would've said different statements about the two. Even so. If your role is tank, wouldn't you automatically assume their talking about the Gladiator class?

You know what's so funny is that I can say whatever I want with any facts I lay at your feet, and you'll basically try to switch them around in your favor. Now. I will go ahead and show you what I mean by what they would've done if they meant that class and role were two different things. "In Final Fantasy XIV, the Armoury System is how players and characters will be able to change their current class, or assume a different role in the group." Did they say this though? Nope.

Oh I think I'm done now. Maybe instead of just making an argument out of this I'll do the exact same thing you do.....Say the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over.........and over!


Edit: And look at that! Another post from you with absolutely no points of counter defense to your theory with a rationalized approach! Thank you again, Gifthorse, for proving my point once more!

Well the only reason I have to say things over and over is because it obviously doesn't sink in the first time. Regardless of how you want to read into that article, which for some reason you believe holds any weight in this discussion, the fact remains that most of us consider the armory system to be a way for us to build our own jobs.

We consider the armory system as a pool of skills and abilities from which we are able to define our own roles. We make a distinction between class and role for the reason that a class is the building blocks for players to build their own role.

The crux of this debate has nothing to do with how I interpret that article, but instead what you believe about the class/role debate. You don't form a distinction whereas I do.

It's a simple argument of definitions. And until you realise that, I stand by my previous statement that you will never understand.

Look, I even had to spell that out for you too.
