Jobs went through a lot of changes throughout the beta.

yes, but we also told them many, many, other things that they never even considered. For example: dual weapon types. (at the time) Gld: sword and shirl/ one handed axe and shield, Lancers: dual sided spears/spears, Conjurer book/crystal (like the RDM one), Pugilist fists/combat boots.
Never even considered it despite being wildly popular idea at the time.
