Generally speaking "classes" do a poor job of fully describing the limits of available professions, skills, and employment for characters. Since there are people who use guns, who use mechanics (we have trains of some sort in Thanalan don't we?) and magitechnology, the lack of a class that features these skills is not really considered a good reason for refusing to acknowledge the existence of those who do. The same goes for an almost infinite number of other areas both combat and non-combat.
Races tend to be a much more exclusive quantity. Either a race exists, and is part of the world, or it doesn't, and isn't. Au Ra weren't. Now they will be. That's jarring.
Someone going from being a gun-wielder in RP to also being a gun-wielder in PvE? That just doesn't matter, at least not to me
