In fairness, pretty much any time that someone suggests giving players choice over what actions they actually bring (i.e. skill tree systems, BLU's pick-and-choose system, etc.) a swarm of extremely self-assured players descends and insists that such systems involving player choice never work in any MMO in the known universe and that the optimal universal setup would be calculated in 12.77 seconds (repeating, of course) by the Excel spreadsheet wizards over at the Balance. And it's not like any other successful MMOs use such systems, either.

And then you get the odd player who notes that BLU has a pretty fun system and gee whiz maybe it would be fun if more jobs worked this way. BLU might not be practical, but it definitely is fun. Maybe we should start by optimizing fun first?
