Quick doubt about the Fighters

I don't know if the devs answered this yet but I couldn't find anything, so...

Why exactly did they create two separated classes for the Fighter one? Was it a plan in the beginning to create two classes for each role of the E4 classes? Why didn't they add Paladin instead of Guardian Fighter?

    I don't have the answer, but if they added Paladin, why would they add Paladin instead of Guardian Fighter ? ;)

    Because the Guardian fighter is 4e's Fighter (battlefield control, defender-ish abilities). It's the GWF who took the place of the Barbarian (Unstoppable is Rage, Sprint is the extra speed) and I don't understand why.

    Hmm... my question is backwards then xD Why did they create a Greatweapon Fighter instead of Barbarian? Why repeat the same class?

    There I can't help you. And then they made the mistake of giving the "Barbarian" the paragon path of the Defender Fighter....

    Personally, I'd like them to end the IV/SM cross-paragons. Paladin can be a nice paragon for Guardian Fighter, and an axe-hurling (or hammer throwing) berserker could be a fine addition as a GWF paragon path.

    The thing is Paragons dont influence enough how you want to play your class (tank/dps/control etc) because there are few powers.

    This is right. The mistake was giving IV to GWFs....

    Truly true.

    Because logical organization of classes does not equate to equal divisions of interest.

    For example, a barbarian might logically be organized as a type of fighter, but that doesn't mean people interested in being a barbarian are sated by the presence of a guardian fighter.
