Classes have been garbage and players been requesting for them to go away since 1.0. We thought they were going away when jobs were introduced, then we thought they were going away when 2.0 came out. Then we thought it was curtains for classes when DRK/AST/MCH came out but nope they start at 30 instead of 1. It seemed like the new format is that all new jobs start at 30 and now SAM/RDM are added and starts at 50.

I wish SE would unify the system. Something like:

1- You start as a job.
2- Level 1.
3- You change jobs by changing crystals instead of weapons.
4- More weapon types per job.
5- Advanced jobs require a certain level to unlock but start at lvl 1.
6- Cross classing abilities either done away with or made perfect. None of this old jobs can't use new jobs abilities junk.
