Klowdy.3126 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Pretty sure this is a troll post that died last week. I mean who really gives a fuck about what you call the character you are playing, that's obviously dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda.1967 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Its easier to type "class" than it isto type "profession". Additionally "prof" leaves many players confused since the term has historically always been used as shortform for "professor". Its easier and simpler to just say "class" and it causes less confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Guild wars 2 You can split the 9 professions into this - 3 Classes (Armour types) Soldier, Adventurer and Caster 9 Professions, 3 in each class, 18 Elite Specialisations, 2 for each profession Of course your Mesmer can't change class as it can't wear heavy armour, or medium armour.

Daishi.6027 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Appeal to popularity and tradition are fallacies, but you are asking for people to change the very concept of in game archetypes that we've had for a billion years, and has been there for virtually **_EVERY OTHER GAME IN EXISTENCE_**. Realistically people aren't going to change to fit A-net's hipster, hoity toity, "_to distinguish us from the rest of the rabble MMOs_", style.

Kichwas.7152 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'd say... stop calling it profession. Like in FFXIV... I roll my eyes everytime somebody mentions what "job" they play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llethander.3972 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 No. Professions are crafting/gathering roles. Classes are combat designations. This has been a staple of MMO games for many years. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
