Well, I still remember the creation of all sorts of new character classes back then. We had the addition of battlemages, warriors, rouges and such, which ... expedited classification and avoided immensely silly lists of characters in each category.

However, then came the problem, I'm sure you all might have either not noticed or don't care, but there are certain "profession" classes that wouldn't fit under Warrior, Mage or Rogue ... or anything of this sort. Examples would include Merchants, Pirates, Mercenaries et cetera. Basically, anything that was a job.

I mean, you notice a Pirate or Mercenary, for example, can just as easily be a pure mage, a pure warrior, a pure rogue or any hybrid class. It's after all, just a profession. I know this might overcomplicate things, but wouldn't pigeonholing these classes under your standard Warrior, Mage, Rogue system seem wierd, since they can all either be one of any class.

They obviously aren't subclasses of sorts, so this creates ... a classification issue.

(Unless, of course, I'm kinda late and the changes have been made.)
