I would like to see Classes treated as proper, separate "Jobs"

[Terin]

I think the problem with the current iteration, is that Classes are basically "Jobs, but worse", with the only exception being cross-class skills.

Personally, using think cross-class skills are the real failure here.

What I'm suggesting is restructuring things, and treating them as alternate playfulness for the same set of skills, with just a few changes here and there.

Yeah but your suggestion is literally them doing what they DONT WANT TO after SCH/SMN

Not exactly. What the TC is suggesting is for more radical changes to how the overall system works, such as having classes eventually use different types of gear to fill into their newly established role in a party. It's not like with SMN and SCH where they just share the majority of their skills, TC wants to even have the skills act completely different, possibly even have different animations and attack names or whatnot.

Personally I'm all for this, but the way the dev team is approaching jobs now, this is nothing more than a fleeting dream.

The devs have already expressed said they view the class system as something of a failure, and have no intention of revisiting them. An overhaul of this magnitude wouldn't really have a benefit since you have to then ask, what makes a Gladiator or Marauder unique? Being a sellsword or pirate aren't standouts in the sense you can really devise a whole separate job/class around what wouldn't just clash with Paladin or Warrior. It's the same as when people ask for a pure-blooded Garlean race option. What makes them unique beyond being Hyurs with a crystal eye?
