Players are lazy.

Players seem to prefer specialized roles, both for gameplay reasons
and identity reasons (this is just uneducated guessing).

Other than that, I think it's an interesting system. I'd like to try
a game like that, but I'm a hard-core gamer (when I have the time)
and prefer classes (pets, hybrids) with multiple roles. I don't know
if this would appeal to Joe Average Gamer or Joe Not-Yet-A Gamer.
