Firstly, locking this up since this does fall in to buying/unlocking classes which is in the FSI which has been pointed out, since it is basically having your original class as a free unlocked class to be reverted to. It also looks like a flame war could easily evolve here, so better put any sparks out now!
I will explain something quickly though since some people certainly seem to need a bit of guidance on this subject! I do feel Mother1 has hit the nail on the head for the most part really, the main reasoning being that it is expensive to avoid any balance issues from being amplified to a much higher level than needed. If classes are unlockable, buyable or cheap to switch to, you would have a game of everyone switching to any class slightly OP, then getting annoyed when it is nerfed to bring it back down to as near to balance as possible.
With regard to not knowing how good a class is before switching to it, I again feel Mother1 raised a good point, you can see others fighting as that class and see how they do. If you really do not see many or have much understanding, we have a wiki that will give you all the information on the game as possible, including all the information and skills on classes: http://epicduelwiki.com/w/Classes - if you go there, you will be able to look at all the skills in a class, how it works and likely come up with an idea of whether it is or is not a class you would be able to work with and play as. You may say 'you do not know how it will work until you try it'; yes this is true to an extent. At the same time though, I have only switched classes a few time, I have been a Bounty Hunter from the very beginning and kept it that way, only changing once or twice, then reverting back. Every time I have switched though, I managed to create a working build and used logic to make one I felt would work before even changing, once switched I have not once struggled with that build I created before, all-be-it needing a small tweek once tried. This example is not to say that it will always work out, but it is to show that careful thinking and knowledge of the game will allow you to make a good decision on a class change and make it work before even going into it, saving you Varium and possibly a bit of frustration.
Finally, EpicDuel is a business, servers are expensive to run, bandwidth costs and Developers have to be paid to make a living. There are many people who feel that everything should be free or at least very cheap, and trust me, as a company we would love it if that was possible! However since it is expensive to run a game, it is the lives of the Developers and their everyday job, and it is a business, it is not possible at all. There would literally be no game to even play if there was no income, because we would not be able to afford it, and it would not be financially viable. For the game to work, there has to be an income basically so we can afford to run it, to make the income Varium is in place, and for this reason, Varium users have to have some bonuses and incentive to buy it. What we do believe in is not tricking people into wasting money and this is why we have all the information readily available on the wiki, or for you to see in action in the game, so you can make an informed decision on Class Changing etc. You can look into all the details before you spend money and that is something we very much make sure to do, so you know what you are getting out of your money. If you choose not to use the information given or to consider the choice, that is something only you have power over and we cannot help, since the most we can do is offer those resources to you to use as you want.
