No Love For the Guys (Race/Gender Locked Classes)
This has been bugging me a while. I don't actually like to play female characters very often. If I do play them, then it's never for solo work as they're part of a theme pair with my best friend.
I know, I'm probably a rarity. However, for the sake of a sort of fairness, there really should be a broader range to the newer classes. There is no logical reason that Gunner and Brawler are locked to females. There's no logical reason that either class is locked to their specific races, either.
Logically speaking, I can see why Gunner wouldn't necessarily apply to Elin since the Arcannon is so freaking huge. However, they do have Slayers and Berserkers, so that negates that argument as well. Elin already have Reaper and Ninja (which kind of irks me as well, but meh).
I can't see any reason why Brawler is locked to Human females, either.
In the TERA store, the majority of special items are also geared towards female characters. Maybe I want a Magician's costume for my High Elf guy? Maybe I want track shorts for my Castanic dude?
While the majority of your player base IS male and they (of course) follow the "if I'm looking at a backside for hours, it better be a nice girly one" line of thinking, I feel that it wouldn't hurt one bit to toss the rest of us who like to roll male characters a bone.
Please stop making the dudes an afterthought. I feel like there's someone in the Dev team that says "Oh, maybe we should make something for the guys this year..." while it seems like the girls get stuff every couple of months.
