Aion Stuff

If you will join me to the server statistics page on the official site: Aion™ Online :: Server Statistics
You will notice Gladiators are almost a third more populated than any other class on almost every server. Why?

My thoughts are due to the fact that glads have it easy and look great.
Better armor (statistically), amazing and flashy skills that do high amounts of damage, polished and more outlandish weapons.
What surprises me is they get all of it early on; moreover, I can see why people would flock to it.

I’m thinking some of the classes need to be brought up to par to compete with the gladiator- as far as aesthetics go.
I’m not saying other classes are dull or lacking in functionality, I’m merely suggesting an improvement in animations for skills earlier on to wake up the grind a bit. I’m aware that working for higher levels and getting the satisfaction of earning the neat skills is part of any great mmo, though playing as a ranger, using the same skill animations, dully kiting and grinding for my life, makes my brain writhe inside my skull. I’m not just here complain for the ranger’s sake, a lot of the classes seem to be dwarfed in comparison to the sparkling and polished gladiator.

I’m not trying to rant or step on anyone’s toes, just presenting my thoughts, feel free to debate.
