I don't realy see the problem. Monk and Ninja are both acrobatic Asian themed classes. Monk and DRG in the same gear set was just dumb and often left the gear looking confused as to what it was. Monk and Ninja in my opinion makes sense together.

We all want more gear styles to pick from but I feel like picking a fight over 2 very similar themed classes using similar gear isn't the way to go about asking.
