    It let's them add the most requested race (predominantly female viera) which is a sure bet to be a popular race, whereas male viera may be more of a gamble.

    We sure had a vocal minority clamoring for male bunny outfits, only for them to be hardly seen actually being worn once people finally got them, even on servers you'd expect to see more.
    Honestly not sure on this one because I didn't care about the outfit; I figure it was more of an equality thing, to be honest. As for them wanting the female; that would be one heck of an assumption.

    Yes, it does, for that community or....

    Yeah... that's just me using those specific words gender lock etc; I'm sure there are more threads on their forum of people screaming about the gender class lock. Bound to be more on other media websites.

    The same with Tera. Just search results from using those specific words in their forum, bound to be a lot more.

Or maybe they all gathered and summoned a primal and are all tempered, thus unplayable.

    If I wanted to play a biotic commando in Mass Effect multiplayer I would be forced to play a female asari. How is that different than Black Deserts?
    No, I don't agree with that and it doesn't go against my argument. I said the lore for asari was sound for why you didn't see a male Asari. The fact they locked classes to specific genders regarding the multiplayer was also lame. And if males died while summoning a primal. Well, Viera got a bigger problem on their hands. Like going extinct.
