It wasn't obvious either way. Both classes had aspects of different traditional FF jobs. CNJ could have been BLM just as easily as they were made WHM.

So out of all of my posts in response to the actual topic, you picked the most off-topic one to respond to? Man, just proving my point that you don't have a leg to stand on, here.

I'll indulge, though.

Yes, I looked at CNJ's spell list and saw that they appear to be a combo of white mage and black mage when classes were introduced (way back in 2009/early 2010). That is why I chose CNJ. I looked at THM and said "well, looks like a debuffer to me. Not interested".

Once JOBS were announced I thought they'd split CNJ into white mage and black mage, given that it has the spell pool from both 'jobs', so I figured that that would leave THM with red mage. I never once thought that THM would ever become white mage because it bears no resemblance to white mage, other than a shaky plot element about reviving the dead (which raise doesn't even do in the XIV universe, so the argument that that's related to white magic is moot. Especially because it's considered a dark art in the storyline (derp)), and one healing over time ability.

Now, with the class changes I will admit that I think it's stupid that THM becomes BLM. If anything it has more in common with RDM (but even then that's a stretch). I think the best move would have been to make CNJ split to BLM and WHM, but having two jobs per class is not within the dev teams resources if they want to release jobs in within their projected window, so I'm assuming that's why THM got stuck with BLM. I still don't see how anyone can make an argument for THM becoming WHM, especially with the class adjustments in 1.18, when CNJ essentially became the main healer with the new battle system (considering you ranked up to 50 since then, you had to have seen this coming).

Again, you aren't entitled to anything from SE. You made the illogical choice given all of the signs that were out there, and now you're butt-hurt about it. Sorry, but I don't think that's good enough for compensation, and I don't think that it's good enough to send SE down an inevitable slippery slope of wiping player's asses whenever they mess all over themselves.
