New Gear... for class only? [Glaring Issue] [Request]

[Teknoman]

Honestly, classes should just become jobs at level 30, there is no real reason for the two to exist after that any more. It's really that simple in my honest opinion.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Jobs are still very new, and SE is still working on defining the balance between Jobs and Classes. One of the things they said they'd do to help define them is start releasing Class and Job specific gear that were different in their focus. This is the first wave of Class specific gear.

Honestly, though, I don't see the need for all this fuss. If Jobs can have specific gear, I see no reason why Classes can't. SE is clearly determined to keep this system, so we might as well embrace it and see where they take it in the future.

I think most people are just ticked off that the new items actually look really nice, yet are class only. I admit, I really want to use that sword and axe.
