Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Unless they do something like they did with Yugiri or Fran (either throwing one into the MSQ, or added at the end of a side-story), I doubt we'll be getting the missing genders in 6.0. They'll likely say "we're aware" and that'll be the end of it until the Fan Fest teasing 7.0.

Nah Nestaman, it's 6.0 or bust. This game might last a long time but not like world of warcraft long. The spaghetti code, the engine limitations, competition; everything's gonna add up. I can see them waning down the game around 10.0-11.0. Adding the missing genders in 7.0 only gives them 3 playable expansions left, it's too far into the game's lifecycle.

But this is how I feel personally, and based on the mmo market, game lifecycles, etc. After 6.0 I don't wouldn't care, for that just leave it as it is. Being really honest about that. But this is a good question to ask the rest of you; would you still wait 2 more years for male viera/female hrothgar?

I had considered not getting ShB as many decisions left me underwhelmed and male Viera had been the tipping point. Of course, once Dancer gameplay came out I loved it and my hype returned. Obviously, I got the expansion and changed to f!Viera, given that the 5.0 story and raids have been a high point for me, I don't regret it.

Point being, it depends on what 6.0 brings. If the MSQ promises to be as good as 5.0, the zones look interesting, the new jobs look promising, we get some hair and hat updates for Viera/Hroth, and the gameplay changes fix broken systems? Sure I'll tolerate no male Viera/female Hrothgar for 2 more years.

At least we KNOW the dev team is aware of the desire for the missing genders, and are open to implementing them if the resources allow.

Yeah, I gotta admit dancer and the Shb msq were some of the best content the game has had yet. But to harken back to my question, are you going to want male Viera after 6.0? Like waiting until 7.0? That's what really intrigues me. To me by 7.0 the game would have crossed so much ground and life that adding them that far off doesn't add any value to the game, in my opinion.

What does it say about people if they get Male Viera, but they dont care and aren't happy because they didnt get them exactly when they wanted them?
Im not even sure if entitled or ungrateful are the wright words.....

If we don't get Female Hrothgar for another few years maybe in 7.0, sure, I can wait. The point of me playing this game is because I love the content Im playing and I love the MSQ. The ability to play as a fancy Furry avatar doesn't dictate my enjoyment of this game. If the game is still fun, why would it?

Male Viera and Female Hrothgar being added to the game as playable avatars at any point would be fine. The point is they were added right?
Why would they be any less interesting, Valuable or impactful to the game in 6.0 or 7.0?
It makes me question how much anybody truly cares about them if they would suddenly not care if they arn't added in 6.0...
