I hate it too. I said this the first week of it. I have spent anywhere from 400-600 gems on class switching so far. > [@Remove Class Switching Fee](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/remove-class-switching-fee/4606/1): > > - There are no rewards past 250 wins. Since wins don’t give any additional rewards past 250 wins, there is little need to stay on one class for too long. Dedicated players get 250 wins much quicker than the 6 day timer. > > - Defend team doesn’t save class. Since everyone’s defend team has to use current class, there becomes a lot of instances where people prioritize for PvP class rather than defend class. This leaves less creativity with defends as people are forced to use the same offensive class as defensive. For instance, I prefer Priest for defend, but always PvP with Sorcerer, Necromancer, or Archer. They don’t want to remove it to make sure people stick with one class, yet their own data shows that most people stick with one class (1/3 have no class, another 1/3 have Warlord). The easiest way to fix the “not problem” is to add some kind of incentive to sticking with one class, so people would rarely switch even if the option was available for free. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/can-we-please-rethink-the-class-gem-barrier/6246)._
