Gender Locking and Hats: This is a constraint issue

[Boreal]

Oh please, are you seriously going to push a strawman and try putting words in my mouth because I'm not screaming "BURN THEM"? Come on. Don't be rude.

I never said I thought the constraints had to do with budget, and I certainly never called SE indie. They have a large staff and this is a high quality game with a lot of resources behind the team. However, it is still human beings making the thing. It takes a lot of time and effort, and if an ultimatum was given that the last races introduced will be in Shadowbringers it makes sense they'd prioritize getting both Viera and Hrothgar through the door. I never named who I thought was responsible specifically on an individual level for possible restrictions on the patch. And frankly, I never claimed to know everything either. But it would make more sense under these circumstances than SE pissing away money and making deliberate outrage because screw the fans. If you want that check out western media for a while.

I agree it's not ideal for there to be unfinished elements. That said, SE is generally good about fixing these things. You can be wary without the level of hysteria people are showing right now. I want the new races too, but the "WE WANT IT NOW" attitude reads extremely spoiled.

I...was rude? I was kind of joking with the indie company comparision, as shown by the barely visible /s. Where did I even try to put words in ya mouth? Calm down a little, jesus.

I just wanted to expose my opinion that problematic things about details popping up right now most likely are (as normally happens) a signal that bigger problems might arise on the xpac. It's normally not a good signal to have the dev team basically admitting they didn't think things through with the new races they added that they aren't even sure how to make the headpieces work in time for the deadline. They surely had more than a few problems during development but still want to perhaps rush a product that might not be ready yet.

I'd like to remind everyone that this isn't a free to play game. People pay monthly for this, they pay for the base game and xpacs, and finally we have the added honor of having what equals to a cash shop on top of that. I'd honestly expect a bit more from this team, ya know?

But for god's sake, I'm not trying to offend you or the devs personally, I'm just puzzled by the choices they made.
