What would you think of the original CLASSES being expanded into full JOBS?

[Roda]

I doubt it, the class stories have their own lore and plots, and often times these creep back into the job stories too. Again, the last couple paladin stories have been more gladiator than paladin, and several other job stories have npcs from the class quests pop in too. I doubt they're going to want to remove them and have to rework the job stories to that degree to cover levels 1-30 and also having to adjust higher level job stories that reference the old class ones. Just seems like too much work for too little benefit.

We'd probably see them eliminate classes on the backend, while the player story will still have you progress through the class storylines and graduate to a job automatically. So like class lables and icons would really only be a cosmetic switch in the system instead of assigning a whole new class id to your character. At least it's probably the cheapest/easiest way to "get rid of classes" in a way that won't call for massive retcons.
