While it's no excuse, I was incredibly tired and ill earlier this morning when I registered and made that post, and I definitely worded it way more harshly and.. uh, whiny than I should have. For that I apologize. Still, my feelings on the matter are pretty much the same. Making it so difficult to level up classes (at least the three starter classes) is a huge bummer. I know I'm probably in the extreme minority thinking this way, but I personally feel like the game doesn't even really start until you get to play as the class you want. Before that point, the whole game (for me, at least) is spent just doing the same mission over and over possibly dozens of times until I can finally use them. Only then do I actually go about playing the game proper. It really upset me hearing that it takes even longer to grind now than it did in the past, especially when I just can't find much enjoyment until I can play as the classes I'm aiming for.
