I see a lot of posts in here wondering why anyone would want to RP a job. Well, of course you ask this question since it comes to my understanding that you have no interest in RPing a job. (You=Those wondering why anyone would ever RP a job) Just because one person cannot possibly fathom would could be appealing about RPing that doesn't mean that others don't see value or worth in it.
I've only done the monk and warrior quests so far, for instance. But I found the lore of the mechanics around the jobs to be extremely interesting. I think RPing out the chakras and rages could be extremely fun.Â
More to the topic though, at least for the monk and warrior, I have seen absolutely nothing in these quest lines that would indicate that only a select few could learn these jobs. For the monks, their highlander origins are mentioned in passing. It is the same for the warriors in that it seems to originate from the Hellsguard. But in these texts there is nothing that states that only these small groups of Highlanders or Hellsguards are the only ones in the world to know these techniques. When anyone could roll a monk or a warrior, I don't consider it a stretch at all that there could be more than one way to learn these practices.Â
I have yet to delve more into the other job lore but from what it looks like to me, there is no definite answer on the availability of these jobs. There are just different interpretations of the lore. There's so few lore and text to go by off that it's so vague and be interpreted to be a multitude of different things. As such, it's a bit disappointing that the one interpretation that most of the community seems to abide by is exclusionary instead of inclusive.
