I like gender locked races and I hope they stay this way. I'd like it if the Hrothgar adopted the FFXI lore that Galka had and be an asexual, reincarnating based race, because that was just such a cool concept for me at the time. Although I believe the lore for them is already out and it is nothing like this, but at least I could dream.

Good luck in your crusade, vocal minority, I hope you force the devs to do something frivolous instead of improve the game as a whole.
