Maybe even out racial stats in 4.0

Oh yeah, every tank should be a Seawolf Roe, just for the highest Vit and Str

The differnce in stats is so low, it doesn't really interfere with the gameplay unlike other games, not only MMORPGs, where the stat differences will get exponential with increasing level and some classes/jobs are not useable for a race cause of the stat differences...
I think here it is so less importent, if you are not for world first raid clears, that it won't have any influence on the race decision out of early game perhaps.

It's nice you can differ the more "educated and civil" races and clans from the "brute and uncivil" races and clans
