Discrimination

And when I started, Mages were percieved as the weakest class, because nobody anticipated 4th job. Now everyone's complaining at the reverse.

Read what it says about the damage. The attacking ability may not be on par...
That statement alone shows that it 'may' be weaker than other classes.
Also, there's always SW and asking your friends whether or not to convert to other classes before you got too far.

Omfg. So you people can't think of anything to say, so you attribute being rich to scamming?
I'm ejecting myself from this shyt now. I didn't know that the population of SouthPerry could sink to this level.

I never said all merchants were scammers. No need to get your undies in a knot.

I was merely saying that those were the only skills that someone needed in order to "succeed" in this game. Not everyone needs to scam, but it does make things easier.
