I hate to get in the way of a good forum firestorm but..

Yea, at the very least an acknowledgement that they know people are upset and that they'll work to rectify it in the future would be good. I doubt they want this atmosphere carrying over into the ShB launch. I mean, we've already got news outlets talking about how fans are upset with the genderlock. Isn't exactly good publicity for them.

We do? I think i saw one or two japanese sites saying something about it but i haven't seen any of the typical english ones..
