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

I know people are upset, but no healer and gender-locked races are not going to change for release no matter how much you complain on the forums. These decisions are made and locked in, the development cycle is past the point where these things would be implemented and on top of all that, Square isn't going to cave to forum pressure, it's just not in their nature.

The people who were around for the Shirogane launch can easily contest that claim. The storm of discontent that erupted from the community resulted in more wards being added and new restrictions on the purchasing of houses to prevent house flipping.

And well these forums are for feedback. This "firestorm" is feedback.

None of that actually requires development time. It's just extra servers.

Well this shows how much you know about what happened.

SE changed the requirements and limitations for purchasing a house. When those extra wards were launched you could not purchase a private home if you already had one with any character on that server, and you could not purchase a fc house if any characters on that server was in a fc that already had one. On top of that they added a randomised timer to placards to prevent house flipping. Introducing all of this does require development time.
