Stop calling it class

Title basically

I know it's a stupid thing to be mad about, but SO many people call it class... Please stop.. this isn't world of Warcraft... even if we have mounts.

Most MMOs call it "class" and we're not going to stop, so get over it.

Sometimes I slip up and call it "class" because that's what I'm used to from the other MMOs that I've played.

I suppose it'd be classy not to call them that given that's not the official word for them, but it's a classic way of classifying different skill sets in various games. You can try to class people on the proper terminology, but I don't think it'll take.

Stop calling it profession, it's cringy and forced. Call it class like everyone else.

Fixed it for you.

It makes no sense to call if a profession.armorsmith is a profession, warrior is a class ._.I don't know why the devs thought it'd be cool to call classes professions. . .

Warrior is a profession...dictionary

1. a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification.

Warriors are generally paid, and generally have prolonged training.Warrior class would be a level of ranking, such as commander.

It's not classy to call them Professions.

Profession has been used in the gw universe for the MMOs traditional term class since the game first began.Even in game lore refer warriors and elementalist as professions and not classes.Though profession is something most people from other MMOs won't understand right away. As the term is used mostly for crafting (gw2 call it disciplines). Added the fact that most people will take the lazy way, and go with the easier to say/type out class than profession. (I'm guilty of this :p)

<_<This is a game. Warrior is a class

Semantics, it doesn't matter. Just let people call it what they want, this is just a pet peeve.

that does not change that profession is actually correct given what the words actually mean.Games use class to mean "groupings", but technically they are referring to what are known as professions with the classes.

And what does WoW have to with this?

RPG's (including tabletop) have been calling them classes for decades.

Not that I really give a shit either way, but I still end up referring to them as a class since that's what I'm used to.

Well in tabletops they say Warrior is the class archetype which can then specialise.

Warrior is a class and you play as him.

Class!!!!!!!!

It's not a class or profession. It's a lifestyle choice.

you know title of this thread rhymes with "Kiss my A**" ? :)

I don't think it is very classy of you OP to tell people to stop calling them classes. It's ok though. Class is never lost permanently. Even classless people find class again in the end.

I've always called it a class as that's what I knew them as since 2000. I'm not going to change that just because they decided to name it something else.In FFXI, I remember they were called jobs and even then I still called them classes.

I don't know, nor do I even care how WoW named them either.I personally hate it when people call chars as "toons", but you know what? I don't tell them to not call it that because that's their damn business. They grew up calling them "toons" while I grew up calling them chars.

Class is faster to type so your request won't happen. Sorry bud

Haha I've called them toons since my first mmo city of heroes.
