I love these topics. How great.
Anyway, from my estimation, the problem here is mostly because of class additions. So the obvious way to fix most of these problems would be to scrap Resistance, Aran, Evan and Dual Blades. Cygnus is already irrelevant, remove them too. I'll leave Pirates, because they were the only good class addition since this all began(unless you count thieves as added).
Of course, many MANY players would complain about those losses, but lets face it, thats when the REAL balance issues began. With the Explorer classes, the only real balancing that would need to be done is to make Mages a bit more complex(re: useful) and to make Buccaneers equal to their ranged counterparts.
