Gender Locks Have Revealed the Worst in Players.

[ErryK]

Hrothgar wasn't even a blip on the fanbase's radar until the glitch involving their name popped up. We were all expecting viera, and both genders was assumed to be a given since we though SE had "known better"

That wouldn't change anything because they'd have still announced it at JP Fanfest and people would still be posting a thread daily about male Viera.

Put aside your own personal politics and biases long enough to see that we're all being screwed.

I never intended to play female or male Viera, so that's obviously not true.

It is true, because if you pay them for unfinished crap, pretty soon they'll deliver something you do want, and give it to you half baked. You get what you pay for.

When it comes to that situation, I'll have something to say. As it is I am paying them for something I want and I am getting what I expected.

Except it's not "unfinished", it's "spreading ressources to not please only one part of the playerbase".
With male Viera instead of male Hrothgar, those who'd like to play a beast race (Something that doesn't exist right now as opposed to already having cute animal-human characters) would have been screwed. And designing two full races would have taken ressources from something else, meaning that we would have all been screwed with less content, even those who don't care at all about changing races.

For something that, as said before, is not even content, since it has no impact at all on everything you do in this game. And for those who claim that it's important for RP, It really bugs me how you can do proper RP if you change race and/or sex every time a new flavor comes into the game. Isn't your character supposed to have a background, a family, etc ?

I have no problem with what we got, but just before anyone snarky comes along, RPers will argue they make alts for new races.

they cant "wear" helmets and will be working on them during ShB that sounds pretty "unfinished" to me

Adding new design for Viera gear has nothing to do with them being "finished"...but it has probably something to do with "we won't delay ShB for cosmectics consideration because we're aware that it would probably screw more people than simply the playerbase that only cares for Viera"

...you don't roleplay, do you?

Not much in that game, no. But if I did, I would stay faithful to the lore.

There are characters that have been waiting on the wings since it was teased. female and male, and villains too!
