    Great for them- they have no problem putting women in skimpy outfits... so they have no problem offending the Middle Eastern sensibility that would have women covered up. Why would an international player base kowtow to provincial and outdated social attitudes? I doubt anyone would tolerate slavery in this game.

    It's an international audience, so get with it. If it was a domestic product, then it would make sense.

    You are going extremely left field and I'm going to exit this conversation with you.

    You mean like a system where you would pay real money to for NPCs that become "yours" that go out and do stuff for you that has become known as "farming?"

    You mean hiring retainers? You can hire retainers.... that's hiring someone.

    To the above- I don't mean to go left field. It's just annoying. It's a product marketed to an international audience - not "For Asians, By Asians"... so, I as a customer find that they choose to put something completely unnecessary into the game and make a cultural point about it being a certain way. This way happens to be a very offensive way to a certain group of people.

    There is zero reason for this.

    Ok, it's just that you scared me off with that last comment and I felt you are taking this too serious.

    Btw, it isn't marketed to a international audience, it is sold to a international market and has heavy references to a Japanese role playing game that caters to Japanese players that have oversea fans.

    Retainers aren't slaves. You pay them ventures to be your personal assistant.
