Yeah, exatly. But instead of creating a class wtih unique perks (a beastmaster archer who relies a lot on melee attacks, and taming monsters), Nexon's mentality was to create a "better archer". Heck, in the first extractions Wild Hunters had BOTH Hurricane and Snipe. Nexon didn't even knew what they wanted to do. Then they just decided that'd piss of Marksmen, and had the awesome idea to just give it MORE ARROWZ and WALKING HURRICANE.

Which resulted in a class with higher %/s than bowmasters, lower hits per second than bowmasters, with 100% stance and mobility to compensate for less effective active healing and more limitations due to damage cap.

Your complains are unwarranted.
