Blizzard removing fee to change gender in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands

[Reap00]

Pretty bad troll thread. I give it 1/10. Oh I won't ever go back to playing WoW by the way. It is an absolutely horrid game with an even more terrible community. I hope you enjoyed my retort.

Wow had to do that to save face. Remember china? Blizz wants you to forget and the best way is to give things for free. SE isn't in hot shit like Blizz is. Also, why you want to copy wow? Just play wow?

WOW players need to pay $15 to change the color of their characters' eyes when I last played at the end of Legion.

What was that again?

you're almost two expansions late

So that viera/hrothgar can be excluded from changing gender too?! You guys just like adding salt to the wound for the male viera and fem hrothgar supporters.. If they can't have it nobody should have it!

Gawd, gotta say ILY for that comment! Changed my mood today!

On topic, I don't think gender change should be included, but to expand our crystal bell with options like eye color and skin color would be amazing.
Also, agree with the reply, the fantasia should allow name change. I often change races, and cannot feel complete without changing the name.

it's a WoW clone after all

I dunno, in the beginning it may have been "similar" to wow, but I don't think it could be called a clone now. It's very different in most aspects.

I mean the clone may have grown up and been through different experiences, but I'd say the clone moniker is still an apt one.
Don't forget this game was revived by sitting the devs down and having them play WoW to learn how successful mmos operate.

(ever notice how SE/FF does better when the game is designed with humility and when games bomb it's usually due to hubris, thinking their IP is some untouchable juggernaut? Directly competing and responding to WoW is not only good for us as customers, but good for the game as a whole.)

Not that I think SE needs to massively rework fantasias just because big bro WoW made a change, but it is good practice to keep an eye on your competition to see what they're up to. Would I turn away additional options being added to the aesthetician? Of course not! But I do also recognize fantasias are a massive seller for SE and can only assume that they don't see much reason to change things at this point.

Now, if we're talking hopes and dreams, I think I'd far rather have them copy BDO's options. You can buy a relatively cheap 30-day pass that lets you change your full appearance as many times as you want to in that time period. I tend to get rather nitpicky on appearances, and it's reassuring that if I hate a change, I can just go back as many times as needed to fix things up. With XIV, you're stuck dropping another $10 since they have no grace period at all.

To be honest, I feel like it was less of a clone when it was launched than today. There are many things that FFXIV did differently than WoW but have been streamlined, removed and turned into a WoW-like thing.
