A request to those who are unhappy with gender lock

it's not only about a "boycott" which only works in big numbers. it's also a genuine disinterest of playing a game with such limitations.
it's the reason I left Tera, it's the reason I don't play Black desert online, or any other game that has genderlocked races OR classes.

That did not stop people from enjoying the game up until this point. You talk of limitations, but what about the people that want more immersion? Lore and aesthetics go a long way there. We have joke items, but they are just that... joke items.

If you don't like the direction the game is heading, and apparently gender locking classes in a fantasy game is a deal breaker for you, then by all means FFXIV probably isn't the game you are looking for either.

The problem is, people aren't actually leaving. And they probably won't leave. They are disappointed, but the majority never played FFXIV to have bunny-eared males, which to be fair they could have now anyway. They play for the story, the adventure, the combat or their friends.

So right now, for those complaining: either put up or shut up. If it's the end of Eorzea, unsub and move on. Otherwise let those who are hyped for this expansion and the direction of this game continue to be so without pouring salt everywhere.
