Each and every player is advised no less than 4 times that their choice of AC is PERMANENT, and they have to click at least two confirmation boxes indicating they they know this choice is permanent and that they are certain they are selecting the choice they want.

The devs design and intent was to not allow a single character to fill all three roles, and they designed the classes (AC) such that no single class (AC) can fill all three roles. Allowing class changes would negate this design intent.

They can certainly change their minds again and allow class changes, but they are under no obligation to do so. The mechanic for playing that other AC already exists in game.
Glad to know we have someone in this discussion that knows the devs intentions.

That's a nice straw man you've created, there.

It's amazing what one can learn when one pays attention to the devs statements and does not just dismiss them because they do not mesh with their desires.

It's even more amazing what one can learn when one pays attention to all of the dev's statements, instead of dismissing the ones that don't mesh with their desires...

This This is the bottom line. People need to mind their own business and not worry so much about what others are doing. I mean seriously...this impacts those of you who are so concerned about it 0%!!!! Let it go.

Again, MMOs are fluid enough that there's no reason this shouldn't be the norm in the industry. There's NO rational reason not to allow it. Nobody has presented even ONE valid reason that allowing this would be a negative to the game or the community.

Nothing in a game is permanent.
