My natural reaction to threads like these is to point out how odd a 'monk' class really is, given the fact that monks are universally considered non-violent (barring Christan monks which are known as crusaders, paladins, and/or templars - and Aion has them). What people usually are looking for is an unarmed melee class, but I agree with the devs in not having them. Two reasons:

1. Use really small daggers and a galdiator, it'll look the same
2. Even the greatest unarmed martial artist in the world is no match for a well trained swordsman (don't believe the movies)
