    I'd bet anything that eventually they'll announce the elimination of classes, and reworking the job system, to include skills that were provided by those classes.

    Lol why? They're going to get to a point where the armory system is just going to keep them from making the jobs that people want. So you can either stick with the armory system which is really just a huge limitation on the game, or you can move past it and create all of the jobs/skills that you can imagine, without being forced to say "oh well, this job uses a sword so it'll have to come from gladiator" and since all of gld's skills are based on damage and hate mitigation all of those jobs will be mitigating damage and hate.

    Simple. I'm a fan of what the armory system gives us. If they were to butcher it and restrict us even further, I want no part of what will remain.
