Idk from what I've seen over the years classes having variation to them was deemed as to busy, hard or pointless. I remember many talking about hating how aggro management use to be. I remember raiders complaining and buff alinement and classes like Ast having pointless kits that weren't "balance balance balance". Certain classes just weren't touched much back then and things were far less balanced. I think the community has some blame there for the track that were on currently.
