Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Lauront]

Okay guys, let's calm down here. Male viera or not is not that big of a deal. This thread sees huge activity when someone dangles some bait, and if you are wondering why people are looking at male viera supporters in a bad light it is, because of this. It's too much. I skimmed through like 5 or 6 pages just today! Just throw your support (or not), and be respectful of each other's view points and, I think SE would even look at this type of thing in a better light.

On a side note, I fully wonder what people who are so for male viera, and threaten to unsub or the like, would be doing if no new race(s) had been introduced this expansion at all. Were they playing the game with the expectation of male viera, before viera was even an announced race?

Although I'm not one of them, it's probably a mixture of reasons, but chiefly 1) dislike of the direction the game is taking with the reintroduction of gender-locks and 2) a feature they were expecting did not materialise, with nothing that sufficed to compensate for it in their eyes. Some probably think it never will now.

For me, it's one less feature to draw me to the expansion. Not close to enough to being a dealbreaker, but people do look at expansions in terms of what they're adding in terms of how much value it provides to them. Some people do look at the direction the devs are taking a game in to decide whether to remain subbed.

I think the only thing that may come close to that for me is if they were to announce that they have no plans on updating existing race customisation options and have no plans to improve the textures in any of the upcoming expansions. Barring something like making it a f2p game or porting it to the Switch and then citing Switch limitations for not improving it, and other stuff like that. That'd also do it.
