Lack of character "skills" customization...?

Eh, you forgot you can choose to raise your dex and accuracy via archer as well. You do have the choice to not be like everyone else. But you won't use that, because it doesn't make sense.

A choice is when you would like to take both things but you can have only one.
There isn't a single reason you would like to have dex on arcanist because you can't attack in melee.

If this is not enough for you, I'm sure you understand the logic and are just trolling, so I'll simply ignore those posts.

Choices are not exclusive to good things. What would you call a situation of "choosing" someone dying or someone living? And to be clear, anyone can attack in melee. Heck, even DoL and DoH can attack in melee, they just don't have abilities for it... but they can still auto-attack. You seem to be too selective in your own understanding of word choice.

In regards to the first post though, this is an established franchise. You're going to be limited, unlike fresh titles/series of MMORPG. There's nothing disappointing about it. It'd be the same as classes in WoW being able to do such things. Why would a Paladin be able to utilize abilities that a Death Knight has? That sort of thing. The core of the class/job must keep itself established.

Besides, if there's a need to get more into the gameplay side, I (as well as many others) would never trust the general player base with total freedom. You would have to be the most ignorant (aka naive) person to ever work in the gaming industry. Your peers are among the most clueless of gamers imaginable, and mixed into that are the groups whose sole purpose in life is to mess with other people.
