More than anything it's silly NOT to have. It's not a terribly important issue (like class balance, etc) but they could at least make the boring face of the opposite gender just 5P or something (20P is borderline insulting for something that should be standard and doesn't add any content. Expensive vanity gear should at least look cool :P).

Regarding the Enchantress thing, that would work best again if we just selected a gender during character creation (choose: Enchanter or Enchantress).
