Doesn't have to be "the archetypical adventurer" to be recognizable. You can't mistake a DK, with zerk and beholder and spear, for anything else. Or a Corsair in his ship. You know what, if they'd had a ninja throwing stars around, I wouldn't much care that I couldn't tell if it's an NL or NW. The fact that they have absolutely no reference to any of the "older" classes is what galls.
Not too surprising, though. Recall that in the Visitor event, all "future maplers" were Cygnus Knights, and the bosses were Aran and Evan? Nexon's opinion of the place of traditional Adventurers is pretty clear. None of them have any chance in this PvP anyway.
