I have no issues with the specialist system. and I know a lot of people who do not mind it either. So it causes people to rely on other people as a community. I think that aspect is missing from today's MMOs.

keep in mind that the people who express their disappointment with the specialist on the forums are just a fraction of the playerbase. while i do dthink there should be tweaks. hasnt exactly been game breaking and in no way required to play as a specialist.
