Part 2 of the super-long poll of I'm-sorry-it's-so-super-long!

This one part is about ff_classchange and airship_lounge.

As a note, I will be posting a mod contact list soon, so if you have any issues with any of these communities and would rather discuss with the mods heading them, you can ask them directly! For now, most of them are okay with PMs and such.

Once again, please use this system for scales:

1 - CHANGE IT NOW CHANGE IT PLEASE
2 - There are some really, really big problems that need fixing like now
3-4 - There are some really big problems, but I'm not going to quit over them
5-6 - I don't really like it, but I can live with it
7-8 - There are some problems, but it's not too bad
9 - There really isn't anything wrong with it
10 - It's perfect, please don't change it!

And again, please note that textbox entry limit is 255 characters, and you can PM/IM/email/etc me answers if you don't want to comment.

While this has been brought up before and it is an issue, it's a preconception people have. It's not really possible to stop people from thinking a certain way. The personality descriptions of the types was expanded a bit last time, and more emphasis was put on the thieves being clever and quick thinking to differentiate from black mages... Still, if it's a preconception people are going in with, I'm not sure if I can do anything about it since I don't have any influence over how people vote beyond "just don't post one-word votes." I could add in reminders like "hey, you know there's that intelligent and cheerful solider over there!" but I imagine that may be more annoying than anything.

I honestly think by now it's unchangeable, even though we all know it's a problem. I think part of the issue with the 'intelligent' thing (to use it as an example) is that people don't always elaborate. So if someone just cites 'intelligent' without going into additional detail - well, you could make a case for just about any class being intelligent, it's just expressed differently. I imagine someone who isn't very academic but who is excellent at thinking up strategies might fit very well into Soldier. Unfortunately, if all someone says is 'intelligent', it boils down to what your first impression of 'intelligent' is. If it's book-smarts, that tends to lean the vote towards Black Mage; if it's street-smart, more Thief. And so on.
