Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

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.

Yes, but like stormblood, what if no new races were announced at all? Would anyone have really made a big deal about it, I mean aside from some more threads demanding more to be added? Without new races, I think this expansion could probably hold up on it's own. I don't think disagreements with gender-locks is a wholly valid argument for taking the stance of "give me this or I unsub", "I don't support this kind of behavior", or something along those lines. It's a genderlock, a genderlock has no bearing at all on the actual game. New races are literally just a cosmetic. Some people will argue that cosmetics are content in and of themselves, and I would agree to an extent since I play this game to semi-collect things and glamour my character, but again, if no new races were introduced this would be a total non-argument, because it literally, again, has no bearing on the game itself. A game based solely on cosmetics is a bad game.

So again, why were people playing this game for years ahead of time, probably even before au ra, threatening to unsub? It is obvious that male viera is not the reason they started playing this game, hope or not.

It's not like I would unsub because of no male viera, but is it wrong for other people to unsub because of it? It's their money and they're speaking with their wallets.

I'm not saying it's not their right, I'm saying it is completely illogical for that to be a reason to do it, in my opinion.
