why are people so resistant to constructive criticism about the game?

For the same reason the male viera thread exists. People refuse to see the truth of the situation and instead substitute it with their own delusions.

I saw a personality disorder about that. I wonder if the DSM VI is going to have a section literally just called twitter.

When ARR launched, it added male Miqo'te, female Roegadyn and female Highlanders to the game, all of which were not a thing in 1.0. Seems they thought it would be a good idea to add the missing genders for the reboot.

Now jump ahead to the announcement that Viera. I remember being so incredibly confident that there was absolutely no way they'd limit it to only female, especially given their inclusion of the missing gender options at ARR launch, but alas, we know how that played out. To say the least, I was completely shocked and amazed that they went with that decision.

The Devs have given there reasons why they opted to go this route, but to me it all just feels like an incredibly bad decision and any criticism is well deserved. I've not read a majority of the pages in the Viera thread, but I 100% understand why they want them to be a thing why they feel they should be a thing. To write it off as a mere delusion is really doing a disservice to the playerbase and their voices.

SE has made plenty of questionable decisions in other areas of the game as well, the limited races are just the latest to be tossed onto the heap. I wonder if all the backlash was worth it for them (I'm not just talking the forum backlash).
