Possible removal of Classes

[NaesakiAshwell]

1) Set a strict Class => Job progression: This would require level capping Classes to lv30. Meaning you cannot level a class past the lv30 cap, and can only continue leveling to 50 by unlocking the job. Once you unlock the job, that class ceases to exist and instead becomes the job (example: If you level Pugilist to 30 and do the quest to unlock Monk, swapping weapons will not make you a Pugilist, but a Monk instead; the job stones would be moved from the Armoury tabs to the Key Items tab, and would no longer need to be equipped).

This sounds like the ideal solution to me, and then when you look at the class page on your character info. When you get the job of the class, its name will change accordingly. It wouldn't discount the storyline you've done as that class, since it can still happily exist, but once you unlock the job, the class is gone from a game play perspective as you have advanced beyond it.
