I played maplestory for what appealed to me in the game.
I changed to mabinogi because there were no real ap screwups, or classes, or definition. It was just free, and you could chain together combos like nowhere else. But now that they're on the verge of throwing the past 12 generations of ranking hybrid crap out the window, it's just dead.
people even without being hybrids, still classify themselves into a class , whether this system is in place or not
rangers/mages/meleers
then the Races are in a sense kinda like a class system as well, cept with races you really don't have much of a choice in the matter if you want to be proficient in something else(giants especially)
with this class system you could rebirth to change classes, and you don't actually lose the skills they just become un-usable until you change class
most "hybrids" I don't really see them use Adv Magic
and did it ever mention not letting Knights use Bows? or Bards use swords? etc (cause I don't remember xD)
and again I would think that you start off as an adventurer and you're suppose to end up learning about the classes, later
and again the rebirth system allows practically infinite amount of AP, so eventually you'd get everything fixed even if you screw up
I really just see it as a good thing, diversity/variety and it promotes party play
(iunno if I left anything out so- post-)
