The whole problem is that its "different" and the catass hardcore players hate having any sort of control out of their hands... its why they are playing DAoC and WoW currently... the control is in their hands. Casual gamers are just their fodder.
Overall this is a good idea, but it is weak without filling in the *holes*... holes being that you need to name what each rank is responsible for in the gameplay. You can say this all day long, but if you give the grunts all the fire power and the commander only has command controls to direct that firepower... the catass hardcore gamer is going to have much more experience and knowledge of the system to suceed in any role.
The system would need to be fully developed in order for a fair opinion on it to be formed.
