    I don't like to be that person, but droll means something similar to unusual or quirky; pretty much the opposite of dull.

    This on the other hand, I agree with. I'm not even sure what other systems would work in MMO's, having not seen anything else. I know some people often talk about a fourth option (support) but I just don't think it'd work that well as it falls too closely to what a healer does to be a class in its own right. Or on here I suppose you have bards which mainly do dps. A support role that would literally be about giving people buffs wouldn't make for engaging gameplay in my opinion, yet its what i see most often suggested when people want to break out of the trinity system.

    Oh, derp. I'd seen it used that way, and didn't think to check. Thanks for keeping me honest!
