[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6828964, member: 22779"] I think it might be fairer to say that you don't need two dozen classes in the game. I'm not sure that adding classes was a major factor in bloat to be honest. Although, I can certainly see where you're coming from. But, since "everyone has their personal favourite" then adding classes is obviously something people would like to see. I mean, we're already getting the Mystic class, so, new classes ARE coming. That's a fact. We can slow down the process and make sure that whatever comes out fits best with the game - which is what they're doing with the Mystic. A two year (or thereabouts) public playtest of a new class? Wow. That's impressive as all get out. I'm not sure why they won't release a warlord under the same standard. Well, actually, I have my suspicions as to why they won't do it. Either it's far less popular than I think it is, thus there's just no demand. Or, they're worried about the backlash similar to what we're seeing right here on En World. Discussions of a new class had to be ghetto'd off into it's own little corner because people just couldn't accept the idea of other people talking about a game mechanic that they don't like and spent countless hours and days endlessly threadcrapping every single conversation in an attempt to derail it. I know which version my gut tells me is true. :/ Unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
