And that "don't care" group will diminish in size once something more concrete is on the table. As stated before, the main concern for SE is: Does a large enough group want this for it to impact our bottom line (whether through lost/gained subs, fantasia spending etc)?, and not what % of the playerbase wants this as a proportion of the whole in the abstract, since that's fairly moot. If enough people want Viera males in a way that increases their profitability, they have a good reason to move to add them.

They won't add one gender. If they add Viera males they'll have to come along with a female gender be it Hrothgar or something else. I think the best one can hope for is they decide to add those for 6.0. Realistically I doubt they'd be able to do it anytime before then. They're not even done with female Viera and male Hrothgar given headgear won't be ready for launch.

I get your point, but what they could (and my guess is) do, is add the gender that has more demand (male viera, I belive) and then confirm that they will add female hrotgar later, so like male viera at 5.0-5.3 female hrotgar 5.3-5.4

I doubt it. They'll do both or none but you're dreaming if you think they'll add just one and not keep the genders balanced. i think realistically if they add them it'll be for 6.0.

I did say that they will do both. Just release one 1 maybe 2 patches sooner than the other, and coming from SE who released 2 half baked races because they prefered that than doing one full race that would have gotten very few complains compared to now, it is a possibility

They needn't - the same principle applies, in that focus on whether a "majority" of the playerbase wants the genderlock reversed is irrelevant. It just has to be a critical enough mass to allow for a higher stream of profits.
