Marriage feedback [inofficial Poll]

You have to understand that while most of us do treat the game and our characters within it as not of this world and compeltely seperate from our daily lives, there are many people out there who do/do not want to see things included in games because of their beliefs. I agree wholeheartedly that allowing this in the game does not really (and should not) impact anything outside of the game, but not everyone does, and different regions of the world can have drastically different feelings on the subject.

Because of this, it's extremely unlikely that this is going to be added to the game anytime soon, even though it has strong support (especially from certain regions).

(I live in Maine which just voted to legalize it, and I voted for it as well- even though I am not of the GLBT crowd, I respect the desires of these people and I don't feel like it affects or infringes on me in any way)

I'd just like to take a moment to point out, as some people have already done, that SE is handling this very poorly. They ask the community, us, how we feel about a topic, then decide to lock the threads that break up from the original one as if they didn't know better - as if they couldn't anticipate a subject like this would cause strong opposing opinions to clash on their own official forums.

Just make a damn official poll, SE. If you really want to know how the majority of your playerbase feels and act however you will upon the results. . . . cause at this point, we're all going in circles.

This topic has been brought about 10 times now SE has heard the voices don't need to hear it again.

I have to agree with the people who point out that if SE was going to add it, or thinking of adding it they should have done so silently without making a fuss about it.

One way to look at it though if they make a big deal about it's addition it would bring alot of PR (Good and Bad) Maybe they want to make a big deal about it, for that reason alone. It does seem a bit odd to talk about it in the live letter at all if they felt it was a sensative topic they could have avoided it alltogether (They had full control over the questions they answered).

imma just post pics why i personally think there should be same-sex marriage in eorzea ^^

Marriage completely pointless in game. Whoever thought of the idea is stupid.
It's beyond me why people keep assisting they add this in game. It's waste of the developers time to create something better. If you want marriage so much should just hook up in real life and do it.

or

Just play another game with all of those functions already,

Then why do they keep asking us for an opinion? :/

Again, when first they mentioned marriage being included in ARR "back then", they must have known this sort of discussions will be brought up on the forums. On the other hand, they can't base their decision on such a matter, as opposed to something more trivial, like the Gobbue mount, on a small portion of players who bother to check, vote and post on the official forums. If they want input, as they said they do (for any topic; additional playable races, missing genders, 1.0 servers being open past the final event etc.) there's a proper way to do it - official poll.
