What is the fascination with classes?
why are people so wrapped around the axle on not allowing the flexibility that we have now and insisting on restricting the playstyle of others? people can set their loadout however they like so the...

I don't think there is a better argument than "I don't like it".
Now the reasons may vary but the end result can push away a community.
@OzzLink well, they did also sell 4 more specialists to people and they already have the money. if they don't deliver they will get sued (class action) if they don't refund the money.
I bought the gold edition sadly but looking at the player base plummeting and the constant complains about the missing classes, basic features and maps I think we can all agree that the specialists where a fail and I agree. Specialists = lazy design so they wont have to create specific class weapons (just look at the current 19 weapons and 3 pistols in 2021 lol) and and skins they thought they will sell. They did not create the specialists for us the gamers, they made them mostly for the reasons above. This is a piece of software and it can be remade and fixed ... the community, well that's another story. And again "I don't like it" the best damn argument a gamer can give you when leaving behind a game.

absolutely true. but it is not an argument for forcing other people to play your way.
i do not believe for one second that if specialists went away and the class system was brought back it would result in people coming back to the game if none of the actual problems with gameplay were fixed. such as squad management, scoreboard, voip, server browser etc
i bet if all those were fixed and specialists were left alone a lot of people would return (especially if they got rid of the stupid one liners)
Here I agree with you, specialists are the lesser problems BF2042 has. Still if you remember, the community was vocal about them after the beta. My guess is that the hate towards the specs is a mix of issues ppl have with them, issues like ppl not liking change, the damn awful quips they have, feeling like playing Apex legends, lazy design, etc.
The community felt betrayed and they are picking on every single thing that they can to punish DICE.

Ok now that is a more insightful opinion.
You seem to understand that the hate has little to do with the specialists.
You're first comment was the best though.
"They just don't like them".
But no one can really explain why.
Regarding their impact on gameplay one example I've heard numerous times is that an engineer can no longer equip a repair tool and a rocket...
