Realistically, you have a male gender-locked class, and a female gender-locked class. If you don't like that, I welcome you to pursue one of the literally almost four dozen other classes that give you a choice between male and female.

But the gameplay and skills won't be the same. There's also the creative side (fashionstory) where people like to give themes to their characters. Imagine if I/L was locked to females and F/P could only be male. People have their own preferences with gender and how to dress classes.

As someone who plays a Female F/P mage, that wouldn't stop me from playing my favorite class.
It's fun yes, (to dress up your characters) but it shouldn't be stopping you from playing the class you like.
As Aggraphine said, it's a small minority that actually cares about this.
Realistically, Nexon isn't going to change it. They most likely never will. If you like the class, I suggest you just play it.
Regardless of Male or Female.

IIRC it was Jett that got extra skill points. Just relics of the past which Nexon never fixed.

I think that fact that is has been "almost 7 years" shows exactly how much Nexon cares about this topic.
I honestly don't mind gender locks, but only for story reasons. I usually play as the canon sex anyway.
What strikes me as odd however, is that only Angelic Buster/Mihile have them.
It would be more understandable if they all had them, but it's only these two? Why?

In games where assets are hard to produce and character models are vastly different, gender locks save development time for devs.
But MapleStory's assets are pretty much all the same. I fail to see any reason why it would need gender locks.
While we're on the subject, can we get rid of the male/female versions of armors in the early game?

Since it was mentioned a few times, here's the formula for arcane force.

Also be sure to look at this section as well.

If you kill mobs within 9 levels of yourself, you actually gain bonus exp.
This bonus EXP is base, so it stacks extremely well with other EXP multipliers.

they can do same ingame-ranking
but its something else to hide...good PR we cant talk about .... its all finee
now a month more argue what server its faster or slower
how to get same rates without $$
what are the rates bla bla for option that can be avoided and focus on real things

I believe I've already made my stance on the issue of this thread clear.

But as far as doing it (Bans/Warnings) ingame at the same speed, that's absolutely not possible. We're talking about a game that thousands of people play, where if someone is hacking or not can be fuzzy and requires gathering more data.
Compared to a forum where only a few dozen posts are made each day at best. It's apples and oranges.
