I actually didn't play BRD for a while because I didn't like the "aesthetic" of it; it was too fruity for me, and I prefer my ranged classes to be woodsy archers. Eventually I just sucked it up, leveled it and stuck an ARC-ish glam on, but I can see how it could be off-putting to someone new to the game. I don't play WAR for similar reasons, it might be a little shallow but part of what makes a class fun to play for me is the style and how you look doing it.

And I definitely didn't level SMN because it has the only weapon in the game with a dragon motif
