What the hell happened to the pride of being an old school class like a paladin, hero, or a DK. I mainly play my Corsair and I still wish I had one of the original adventurers(warrior,archer,mage,theif). I don't see how people leave their main character that they've played for years just because new classes are being released. I know I ain't leaving my Corsair
Indeed. I treat getting more damage as just a side treat in the game, it's not necessary. I wouldn't quit if all my scrolled equips were gone or anything like that.

I love where you get your numbers from. When you make arguments I always see you pulling numbers out of the air that are usually gross exaggerations.
1. Most people are bored to death by the adventurer classes, and want to make something new.
Don't know where you get the "most people" from. You assume way too much. Just because you know a certain group of people that this applies to doesn't mean that it applies to everyone. Lots of people played Cygnus Knights just to get the buff and went right back onto their mains. Maple in General gets a bit boring after grinding nonstop forever. Sure, there are people who will be all up for the band wagon and quitting their mains for the new characters, but you have the idea that adventurers will go completely extinct, which I really don't see happening.
2. If they make a new class they want to have a LOT of DPS because adventurers can't even properly beat pink bean right now, and that's not even the end boss...
I don't think a lot of people ask themselves "OH, CAN I KILL PB WITH THIS CHARACTER!?" when they make a new character. If they do, then they're probably not even going to enjoy the character, since they decided to play it over something so trivial.
3. A lot of people are frustrated by the fact that they play a lolGTFOweakSHIET class, at bosses like Pink Bean, or classes that can't survive without investing like 2000 dollars into HP washing that only addicted nerds would invest in a 2D pixel game. Ask yourself, would you take Shadowers / Buccaneers / Paladins / Marksmen / etc to Pink Bean if you can get insane washed BM's / NL's instead of them? PB is -all- about DPS, especially with the timer, it kills -all- possible usefulness of ANY other class -could- have (Smokescreen? Timeleap? Heaven's Hammer?)... It's all about zOMG DPS classes... (that can survive).
You're still using PB as an example, as if everyone wants to make a character solely to fight him. Lots of people don't even seem like they'd bother attempting to fight PB. Pink Bean isn't the most fun feature in the game, the game isn't only about Pink Bean. You're putting too much stress on something that's pretty trivial.
4. Hmmmm, you play a Corsair? Would you still play it if it did like 50% of it's damage?
You're directing this question to him, but I'll answer it I guess. You seem to be making the assumption that simple because Corsairs have high DPS, everyone who picks them only plays them because of their damage. I play an outlaw, not at Corsair yet, but as someone who's played mostly mage classes, I can say that outlaw is fun enough to play regardless of what the DPS is. hen I made my first character, it was before 4th job, but I knew very well that mages were a class that were outdamaged later on. I still picked it because it seemed the most fun class to play. Yeah, remember that word? FUN, it's a word that doesn't have DPS in it's definition, you might want to try it sometime. You're too focused on damage and being THE BEST.
I know, there are people who play exclusively for damage, but don't assume that's everyone. You're thinking things through with too much of a one track mind. Let all the LOLDAMAGE=BESTCLASS people move to the Legendaries if they want. It doesn't bother me.
That's why everyone is looking to the Hero classes for deciding if they're gonna make one to actually be wanted / useful in end-game content.
Or, maybe they're looking to it because it has the potential to be a unique playing experience? We know nothing of this new class other than it has dragon mounts with equips and will most likely be a mage. Mages usually suck at single target DPS, so nobody should be nearly excited as they are if your assumption is correct. Most people should go "lol, it's a mage guys, just wait for the other classes to be released caus this will suck."
