Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Alleo]

Because then people would've cancelled their preorders when they were still eligible for it, and had less chances to use their pre-order bonus items... is sadly what it starts to look like. They should've outright told us no male Viera, and then created an air of mystery around what was coming in its stead, instead of it being read as them building more hype for male Viera. Because it also made sense that's what they were getting at - male Viera were never shown before, so they wanted to reveal them in Tokyo, maybe even bring Matsuno over, which would've made more sense in Japan instead of anywhere else...

Sadly I also believe that this might be one of the reasons...and yes all the hints seems to have been about male viera reveal at the japanese fanfest because they had nothing else to show and wanted some hype. I mean without the leaks we would not have known that we could get a beastial male race, so that as a surprise with no hints ingame just feel off. But hey new patch is here and still no hints on them..all of that just feels like they were an afterthought and not somehow the ones that should have come first.

So in the end I have a hard time feeling sorry for them for the backlash they received (of course as long as it remains civil). They brought this onto themselves.

I still think some people overreacted, like they always do. This happened with Eureka too. Bluemage. But imo, asking in a friendly manner, supportive and patiently way will help much more than canceling subs and posting it in the OF. The mog station is actually asking for the reason when canceling the sub, which should be viewed as feedback.

The thing is, that they dont ask for deep reasons when you cancel your sub so they will never get to know why someone truly left. Also if people only post about this but everyone still stays subbed, then why should they change something? Seemingly people then forgive and forget it anyway thus they still get their money and might not even need to change something. Bad press, posts with lots of likes and comments on this and them losing money might do something. But look at bluemage or Eureka. Sometimes it just feels that only the danger of losing too many people might bring change. (And theoretically they would already lose money if someone that stayed subbed all the time, decreases that, which is something I am doing right now, and I am honestly not sure if I am going to buy the expansion at all)
