Ok.. hold on. Something really needs to be addressed. SE can do what they want as a company, they are making the game and expansions. What you're not realizing is that we are buying their products (and paying monthly subscriptions). At the end of the day we are allowed and entitled to voice are displeasure with a product. We are allowed to give feedback on anything and everything that they give to us because we are paying them.

Now that the confusion is out of the way. . .

I'm glad that you found so much enjoyment in the fanfest, congrats to you. But
don't try and act like the community is wrong for expressing how they feel when the mass majority wanted male and female viera. And honestly its not surprising that people were going to backlash at the fanfest. The mass majority of players wanted Viera, the mass majority of people don't like gender locked races. All they had to do was give the community Non-gender locked bunnies and a new healer. This will be the second expansion without a new healer.
