    People often claim that the devs are trying to get away from classes but i don't really see the proof of that, is there a source article for this? 3.0 may have given us (extra) Jobs, but as has been said before 4.0 wont have system necessitating completion of the previous 3.0 story line to access 4.0 content. As such i hope we don't get pre leveled classes/ jobs again, alot of work went in to those class story line, i refuse to believe they'll simply be cast by the wayside indefinitely, the chance to go back nd revisit some of those story elements would be epicly awesome.

    Its more of how they have been handling the new class(rogue) and the new jobs released in HW. Rogue had barely any abilities to draw from like all previous classes which didn't fit the core fundamentals of the class system. HW jobs starting at 30 and not having any prior storylines and a class to draw from for other classes and jobs was another sign. Time will tell but hopefully we will see brand new classes with jobs in 4.0!

    There's no article, the proof is that it's plain to see, classes have lower stats than jobs so no matter what you do you'll always be weaker as a class than a job. Anywhere where classes have had even a niche use have been stamped out by the devs (marauder was actually better than warrior in pvp at one point but they nerfed classes by giving jobs a 10% damage boost over classes in pvp to prevent that). Past HW only jobs got new abilities, classes got nothing past level 50 and the new jobs didn't even have classes, they just start as a job. They even took LB3 away from classes just to hit home that classes are worse than jobs. SE wants you to get the class to 30 get your job stone, equip it, making your class inferior in every way, and hope you forget the class was ever there.

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.
