Not just making every class be so similar that the only difference is the weapon.

I suspect you might be happier with one of the Korean MMORPGs available. Of course, if you dislike gender-locking classes, it'll be difficult. But ... gameplay is absolutely guaranteed to be different for each class.

Um, Lost Ark, in this case, isn't really an MMORPG. It's a Diablo-style game, whatever that's called these days (Action-based?)
