Do you think SE looks at class concepts?

They probably see and glance over what people want, but using concepts? Naaaah they've got a team to actually design these things, they might hand them a short list of the things people are discussing but at the end of the day its the job of designers to design not copy.

I'd also say they probably pay more attention to what people are speculating about when it comes to advancements of the current classes, because at least then the audience is already playtesting the content and not just theorycrafting hypothetical content.

Yes and no.

I expect they glance over them from time to time to gauge what sort of jobs people want.
But, if you go too detailed into the design of it, they will most certainly not use it, because they're oppose to 'taking' others ideas, and will instead come up with their own stuff, or base it on classic Final Fantasy job designs.

This is probably more or less the bulk of it. But I would like to point out that if people are doing a group think tank about ideas or concepts and that gains traction, they will probably take parts or queues from it and rework it to be more in line with what they think is good for the game. If the feedback is pertinent, theyll see it, particularly if its community generated and not one person posting their own idea.

That being said, I have fancied an idea of creating a thread for art orientated people where we just start posting concept designs for Glamour or Housing decorations. Since they have competitions on the regular to add stuff to housing, Im more inclined to believe that such a thread would be monitored by the devs if it got traction.
