WoW has a hate meter, so its ok with me. I will say that FFXI did give me a strong sense of hate because there was no meter, but this will only benefit and not detract.

I think all classes should have equal solo and party mechanics. None shall be separated like in FFXI ie: Beastmaster etc.

Down with Physical Level is good. As for job switching, i don't like switching weapons = different job...personally if theres an item you can use to switch it outside of battle thats fine with me. I liked having a more defined role than switching weapons then suddenly you are a different job.
