Rework the idle stances with drawn weapon for older classes

Suggestion/Comments: Despite of BDO being a quite quick-pasted game, I do find myself sometimes idling even with my drawn weapons; if it is in towns, during the buffing-phase before a grind or simply when wanting to take some interesting screenshots. Sadly, a lot of the older classes in Black Desert (e.g. Ranger, Warrior, Tamer, Witch/Wizard, Sorceress, Valkyrie just to name a few where I noticed it) stand mostly in poses that are not really satisfying. While they do look like they are ready to fight, the crooked back of Ranger or the stiff stance of the Witch/Wizard do make me wish for more 'relaxed' idle poses, e.g. like Archers stance with his bow in awakening, or how Woosa summons and unsummons her Stave and looks around when idling in succession. 

As someone who enjoys both newer and older classes, I find this topic of quite big importance as it makes me realise how big the difference between the quality of the idle poses of different classes are. 

For the Ranger class for example we saw an interesting pose during the Sovereign weapon reveal and this gave me hope for a rework regarding the idle poses: 

The idle pose in the character selection screen also favours Ranger more than the current in-game hunched-back version:

Not all older classes.  This is the 2nd time I've seen Succ Ranger stance pop up, so I'll agree with that.

Succ tamer, IMO wouldn't hurt to be reworked.  AWK tamer is fine.

While they're at it, if they could restore the old walk animations for all the classe,  that would be AMAZING.

As long as they won't touch the glaive stance from my beloved awa Musa. I like it very much, that he's only standing like a guard and not dancing like the Dosa.

Reviving this post because it sadly has not gained as much recognition and it is really bothering to see those old idle combat poses!
