Dahkeus.8243 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Most MMOs call it "class" and we're not going to stop, so get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmarze.9102 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sometimes I slip up and call it "class" because that's what I'm used to from the other MMOs that I've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolbox.9375 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I suppose it'd be classy not to call them that given that's not the official word for them, but it's a classic way of classifying different skill sets in various games. You can try to class people on the proper terminology, but I don't think it'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop.. this isn't world of Warcraft... even if we have mounts. Stop calling it profession, it's cringy and forced. Call it class like everyone else.

TheSlothArmada.6709 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It makes no sense to call if a profession. armorsmith is a profession, warrior is a class ._. I don't know why the devs thought it'd be cool to call classes professions. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior is a profession... dictionary 1. a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification. Warriors are generally paid, and generally have prolonged training. Warrior class would be a level of ranking, such as commander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyT.7192 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Profession has been used in the gw universe for the MMOs traditional term class since the game first began. Even in game lore refer warriors and elementalist as professions and not classes. Though profession is something most people from other MMOs won't understand right away. As the term is used mostly for crafting (gw2 call it disciplines). Added the fact that most people will take the lazy way, and go with the easier to say/type out class than profession. (I'm guilty of this :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior is a class that does not change that profession is actually correct given what the words actually mean. Games use class to mean "groupings", but technically they are referring to what are known as professions with the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celldrax.2849 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 And what does WoW have to with this? RPG's (including tabletop) have been calling them classes for decades. Not that I really give a shit either way, but I still end up referring to them as a class since that's what I'm used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in tabletops they say Warrior is the class archetype which can then specialise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Hide.6345 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I don't think it is very classy of you OP to tell people to stop calling them classes. It's ok though. Class is never lost permanently. Even classless people find class again in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've always called it a class as that's what I knew them as since 2000. I'm not going to change that just because they decided to name it something else. In FFXI, I remember they were called jobs and even then I still called them classes. I don't know, nor do I even care how WoW named them either. I personally hate it when people call chars as "toons", but you know what? I don't tell them to not call it that because that's their damn business. They grew up calling them "toons" while I grew up calling them chars.
