The devs said they were done with gender locks. and yet here we are....again...

I honestly will look for any hope to resub, I WANT to play this game. But I just cant agree with this. All it would take is a dev response about time constraints, or some explanation as to why they pulled this.

In the meantime, their silence has been noted.
here's how it is: to make male viera, fem Hroth, they'd need to rework each piece of equipment in the game, to fit their models, which you might have guessed correctly, would take HUGE amount of time and money.
Which they don't want to do, cause lore-wise Viera is a female-only-warrior-society, like Amazones. Just the fact that they added 2 new races, at all, is rather monumental.
Also the devs don't sit around on forum, commenting on posts like you or I lol. so what do you expect? for Yoshi to post a letter, commenting about every decision he makes?
I'm sure they will get plenty of questions about it, during next live letter, and he might talk about it there.
