I agree that the Assassin name does intrigue people moreso than the Brigand name. We'd definitely be more played if we were called Ninjas ... which with our stealth, smuggle, poisons, debuffs, etc. would actually make a lot of sense, heh. But it's more than just the class name. Assassins do more damage. Rangers get to deal damage from range. Swashbucklers are the AoE kings. If you want single target damage, most people go Assassin because it does more single target damage. While Brigands are lotsa fun, I think I understand why they're one of the least played classes. If you're worried that we'll level off and become [Removed for Content] ... nah, that's not really a concern. Brigs play about the same from level 1 to level 70. We're always a good but not the best DPS, we're always a strong debuffing class, and we're always full of utility. On the PvP servers we're definitely not the least played.
