8, same thing as 7.

In 14...you can give a Gladiator cure from a conjurer...but that Gladiator won't be a "paladin." You can give a Conjurer cure....but it won't be a "white mage." You can make your Con use fire...but it won't be a "black mage." Do you see what I'm saying?
They will not understand, because they refuse to understand. That is the problem with most of the discussions on the forums here. None is willing to bend and give someone else some space in a discussion. Everyone knows better and everyone is right.

I get your point, since sometimes I have the same feeling. I am not sure if they should do a complete overhaul of the classes, since they have more pressing matters to fix first, but I tottally get your point. Changing the names of the classes wouldn't really help, since you would still have the same abilities. If they want to change the feeling they really have to change the very basic core of the classes and their abilities.
