People who care about customization don't literally freaking log in just to look at their character. I'm really getting tired of this strawman
It's just that their character informs their entire gameplay experience. You literally cannot do any content in the game without having your character present. It makes sense, at least to me, to at least want to enjoy the company of that character / want the ability to identify with that character.

It's like.. paying to go to a themepark but being told you have to wear a horrible, itchy wool body suit while you're there. And when asking if you could maybe wear a tshirt and jeans like some other guests get to someone goes "Lul you want to pay $40 to wear a tshirt???"

No one is saying they shouldn't care about customizing at all. I'm just saying that alone shouldn't be the weighing factor of staying subbed, compared to everything else. If these races were never announced, no one would be threatening to unsub over racial options. They seemed fine with them up to that point

Everyone has a final straw and one person's trivial is another's final straw. If one of the announcements for 5.0 was "no more savage mode" I would be completely 100% fine with it because I don't do high end raids in XIV. In comparison, I don't think raiders would have taken that announcement very well lol

Customization is important to me. It's ultimately why I quit my last MMO (one I actually did raids/pvp in :P)
