Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

Vocal minority are complaining. The vast vast majority will not care 1 bit.



This is SE's game, as players we have the right to stop paying. We do not have the right to try to force them to change it into what the SJWs want.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a social justice warrior. However, when people add their perspectives/biases to their arguments that doesn't necessarily mean their opinions are invalid. The majority has spoken that gender locks are a horrible decision-regardless of whether they prefer Hrothgar or Viera.

I don't prefer either.
I like my current race.

I just don't think locking races to only a single gender is a good decision.

And, according to reports, back in 2.x the devs thought the same thing...
Supposedly citing that as a reason for unlocking the races previously locked in 1.x...

You have no evidence to say that the "majority" don't want gender-locked races. Just like no one has evidence of the opposite. All we have are the forums and social media... which A) Only represent about 1% of the actual population of FF14 players, and B) is heavily, heavily skewed to the negative, because you are 1000% more likely to post to complain about something than you are to praise something.

Thus he used the term "vocal minority" because that's exactly what it is. If SE thought it would significantly affect them financially to not have male Viera, then they would have made male Viera. But obviously their metrics show otherwise.
