    Add a new class once every couple of years. They should add a class that relies on Stamina.

    I voted yes because, conceptually, I like the idea. I don't see it realistically happening, however.

    If this game didn't have the mega server, I'd say that the best solution would be to implement a Classless Ruleset server, so that balance on the "main" servers is preserved for those that care.

    If they took away classes, then how would people be able to complain about who's OP when we'll all be the same class?

    Unhappy gamers want/need to be happy being unhappy; or is it happy gamers need/want to be unhappy being happy....

    theres already flavors of the month and OP classes it happens all the time...(WoW)

    people already reroll and play the OP classes i've seen plenty of posts confirming it on here (and um EVERY MMO IN EXISTENCE)

    either way they are going to be balancing OP skills, theres really no difference between having classes and no classes in this aspect and if it does make it slightly easier, so what? we PAY THEM, this is their JOB their WORK it is not FUN FUN EASY NO STRESS TIME

    all your doing is limiting player char variety by keeping classes
    I agree with you it would be great to have no classes and freedom.

    But you will have to find a mmo without pvp.

    EVE is practically 100% PVP driven. Ultima Online had one of, if not THE most, brutal and rampant PVP systems ever seen.

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Btw all MMOs are balancing nightmares, whether you have classes or not.

    i agree but as a player who wants to see this done i don't have many options and maybe if it got big enough they may take notice (i'm not getting my hopes but still it doesn't hurt to be optimistic) i believe they should totally have their own polls and post them on player emails and their FB page etc to gain notice and get a more accurate poll

    So how would we get them to do this? Create a poll on whether Zenimax should crate their own polls? Lol. We can't PM them. Maybe write a letter? Call them? I'd even be happy with surveys like they had in beta. We wouldn't get to see statistics, but it would be better than some random long ass feedback thread that's dedicated to one topic only.

    It is a fascinating thing to choose skills across all three and have a class with passives relating to roles and hybrids.

    Maybe Z thought of that but thought it was too big a leap. Maybe it would have been . Perhaps they may introduce this down the track who knows?

    I don't understand how removing classes would add more variety to the game. Unless you mean to say just make all of the class skill lines available to everyone? I'm not sure.

    Anyway - to those complaining about balance. I am growing tired of this word.
    -
    Life isn't balanced. Video games aren't either. The only way you are going to have a perfect balance between classes is if you gave everyone the exact same skills and attributes - which would make for an extremely boring game.

    Either you are having fun playing your class or you aren't. That's what matters. Everyone doesn't need to have the same DPS for example else the game is broken or this class or that class is OP. I have seen this mentality obliterate the gameplay on so many other games that I am becoming frustrated with it.

    I understand certain classes may have real problems. And pointing them out or asking the developers to fix them is perfectly understandable. But please stop with this balance nonsense. Because the whole point of different classes is to provide imbalances between different characters so the player can use these strengths to their advantage.

    And while we're at it, bring back pre-Skyrim character attributes, gain SP through skill usage and level by acquiring them. Stat increase, based on three most used/highest skill-lines, should be static, however, otherwise we'd end up with a way too big gap between players and some seriously gimped characters.

    Perhaps they could give each class their own guild and allow players to join them in order to make those skill lines available.

    That would be a cool idea. You'd be limited to five in game guilds and five player guilds. That way, you couldn't grab all the passives available.

    Do you want to know what would happen in the classless system? Read:
    1. find the most effective build
    2. post it somewhere
    3. let everyone respec to it
    4. complain about everyone using one OP build
    5. build gets nerfed to the ground
    6. jump back to point 1

    The best thing they can do is to leave classes that WORK (DK and largerly Sorc) and BUFF UP / REWORK those that do NOT work. Instead of taking the Blizzard's way of nerfing the working class because there is one broken class that performs worse than standard.

    In short, UPGRADE TO A STANDARD, DON'T NERF TILL EVERYONE IS AS WEAK AS THE WEAKEST ONE.

    If you had asked me this in development I would have given a different answer. I am saying no now, because I think it is too late with all in place.

    So much now would have to be changed if you take them out, I think it would be more trouble than it is worth. I will admit ideally I would sooner not have them at all. And if classes could be taken out without creating so much more work, I would be for it. I just don't think it can be now.

    Not really , the game already kinda has a balance , its the amount of Magicka/Health/Stamina , then on top of that it can be balanced further , and ! There are already people doing the Min/Max so whats the difference ?
