Why are roles in Siege tied to points?

[JimmyCakes]

After each death roles that I like to play and master are locked and I'm stuck using random ones each time. Sometimes my only option is an archer, other times a peasant with a club. What's with the randomness? It isn't clear how you accumulate points either.

In Warband you'd pick the role that most suited your play-style and if you wanted to buy different weapons depending on how well you did you could but you would not be completely handicapped. I prefer playing a tank during sieges so I aim towards building up tactics for that.

As in Warband you need to farm some kills to get points/money.

Yeah, but as in Warband I could get kills with a role that I have fun playing, being stuck with a weak archer just keeps me at that level unable to get to the roles that I want to play as

I get what you're saying and I agree, I was just answering how to point system works as it's not random.
