Quote:Why do people play as a Job?The game honestly isn't too lore heavy but there are lore aspects of jobs that make it fun. I don't RP my character as having a Job but some of the history and lore around these Jobs is interesting enough that it feels like a wasted potential not to.
In other MMOs, the lore based around my class helped add character. I really very enjoyed tapping into the various aspects of my class on how she interacted with the world. I've only leveled one class to 50 though so I don't know if this applies to them either, but my class doesn't have any lore to it at all while as its associating Job class.
It's not that I particularly want to be a special snowflake, I just want to be able to RP my class the way I always have in other MMOs. When no one really RPs the general storyline anyway it seems silly for there to be, for example, only one non-Padjal white mage.Â
I don't have to RP my character as any class or Job but I wouldn't mind if character development happened and she somehow got to the point she could have a Job. But there are other RPers who it is more important for and just want to be able to RP what the game says they are.Â
RPers are generally good about not claiming credit for things in game storylines. (For example, I alone killed Arthas!) Not claiming credit for something you see on your character everyday is much muddier of a topic that really does deserve consideration from its RP community, though.
