    Your case is flimsy you can make it but again there's nothing to substantiate the idea that it will cause content to be canceled outright, especially when the director himself has not implied anything to that effect. Moving the goal post from "Well x that was working on y will now work on z but if they have to do genders then z will be cancelled" is an inflammatory statement, with no real basis. Your argument is again essentially "The team cannot multi-task and must throw enough members on racial models to cancel active content that I'm not sure event exists."

    Making this now about...employment and project availability is a deflection at the end of the day, when again we have no idea who works on what or who is assigned to work on what. Again to draw a comparison, do you believe mog station items cause development to be pushed back or projects to be cancelled? do you think the whale mount means we're not getting a potential story mount?

    It's wild speculation at best, and again as I'll reiterate the money invested in projects most likely already in development like 24-mans and 8-mans won't be effected because it's unlikely they were not being worked on at the same time as racial genders. Again you're implying that certain content will be cancelled based on two assumption.

    1) The resources given to them is great enough to pull multiple staff members from different sides of development and cause CURRENT 5.0 Content to be discontinued. Which again is not feasible.

    2) That FUTURE 6.0 content will be cancelled because resources are directed towards adding racial genders. Which again is speculation akin to Ishgard housing taking away from a new EX or raid for 6.0, and doesn't have enough to substantiate it as well as not even knowing what content it would be, AS WELL as multiple instances of content being cancelled during the conceptualization phase (Ala Blue mage unlimited)

    Therefore it is not a reasonable assumption that content future or currently planned will suffer enough to be CANCELLED because of this, your argument about allocating staff is irrelevant to this for the reasons I have stated. I mean hrothgar and viera aren't even done yet apparently so even stating they've STOPPED working on the races is incorrect.

    It's speculation again to say their contribution to any content that they may be reassigned to was enough that it would cause sweeping delays, and it's a fallacy to assume they are working on one aspect of development at a time.
    Well I'm sad to say I thought we were making progress but now know I have wasted my time. Good day. I'll just take what other people have been stating in the opposite direction.

    If male Viera and female Hrothgar are added to the game it will detract from my experience enough that I will end my sub. I don't need to convince anyone here anyway because this is supposed to be a soapbox thread right?

    Time to pack it up everyone we're done here.
