I play on explorer, but really am confused why they don't allow multiclassing on that difficulty setting.

I would assume that it helps casual players by removing confusing options ans reducing choice paralysis. There's already a lot to choose and think about with one class - multi classing makes it even more complex and scary.

I'm a casual in that I play games not to prove anything to anyone, but to escape to another world for a couple hours. It makes no sense that it's not even an OPTION.

That's fair, but I think they refer to the more casual people who want to play a game without having to think so much, and that was a step in that direction. Obviously, it does not fit into your needs.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a mod that allows multiclassing even in Explorer.

Especially since you can bump up the difficulty just for your level up and then drop it back down once you've got your level in the other class.

I'll have to try that. Assumed it would lock you into the higher difficulty.
