ETA on Advanced Class change?

It is probably not about affording, it is about even thinking them up. Even now, some classes have a bit dull stories. And I imagine each story must have a script thick as a shorter book.
And several games (both from MMO verse and Single Player verse) let you choose a advanced class and to not have to option to change it.

Sure. In most games where you choose your advanced class later on (they are usually called something else) they are given more prominence in the game, more meaning.

In this game, not so much. That is one of the flaws of the AC system as it was designed here, and one of the biggest reasons I would prefer not to see AC change, as it would further demean a choice that is already weak in meaning at best.

If the meaningfulness of the choice is weak, that's all the more reason to allow changing it.

I won't argue that would be the case for some folks. For me personally it would be the opposite. I would like the choice to have more meaning, not less.

I will not, however, demand that my choice have meaning at the expense of the majority of the playerbase. If AC change is what is best for the game and what the majority wants I will begrudgingly accept it.

I think this was posted before, but see here, class system from Ragnarok Online MMORPG

All players start as novice. At level 10, they choose their 1st Job, at level 40, they can choose another class (based on 1st Job), and after yet another leveling, they can pick another class.

Having system like this, which would further specialize our advanced class, would certainly added to the uniqueness and permanence of the process.

Wanting to play one character and experience all the potential roles of that character is not lazy. I am not advocating a player gets anything for free or that it would be a simple flip switch. You would still need to unlock the option and pay everytime you switched (enough to make it feasible, not enough to make it an unrealistic proposition).
In many ways only having one character that can flip between ACs is less beneficial as you only have the inventory space of one character and you can only do dailies and other lock outs once in any time period.
However not everyone has vast amounts of time to sink into an MMO to just level characters, no matter how easier that task is in this game to others.

This feels very similar in effect to the arguments made against the ewok being purchasable through cartel coins. Somehow you find it offensive that someone could possibly pay for something you have spent time acquiring.
