There can be many interpretations of the quote, that being said if it was a flat no they would have merely said a flat no similar to their reaction to both Blue Mage being unlimited and the Addition of child like models. The answers were not at this time and a flat no, respectively. So while I do agree that interpreting it as a flat yes could be construed as misinterpretation, it's rather heavy handed to call it complete lying, this same argument again could be used to describe interpreting it as a flat no.

At best I believe it's a maybe, they stated that currently the issue preventing the addition of male viera and female hrothgar is both technical and cost derived. IF they can fix both of these issues than PERHAPS we may see the missing genders some day.

If the sentences was worded something along the lines of "We do not currently plan on focusing on this issue" or "At this time we cannot fix this issue" then I would say that yes, that is more of a flat no. I will agree that people stating they will be released during the 5.X cycle or 6.0 might be being presumptuous it is still not lying, at best it's speculation on a similar level to people speculating about the Nier raid. I don't see how it's immediately harmful.

Either way none of this devalues the thread, as it is primarily a request thread until the dev team says a flat and forward "No" I don't believe there's any real harm in making this request as long as the dev team are not overworking themselves. Now as far as keeping the thread constantly bumped, I do not believe I am in the capacity to judge this, as I am neither a moderator nor an admin. I believe it has merit for allowing people new to the forums, like myself to voice their support, but I also understand seeing it bumped by the same posters can be eye rolling. I do believe that the posters here have a right to keep it bumped if there is both interest or they believe the discussion is relevant as long as they are not breaking forum guidelines.

This is of course my opinion and I mean no offense by it.

Edit: I rambled on for quite a bit, my apologies.
