I think the level of feedback shows this is a little more than a "Well the players would have been upset no matter what" sorta thing.

If you like things the way they are OP great.
I'm not okay with the genderlocking permanently, and I'm skeptical that Hrothgar will even exceed Roe in player numbers longterm... But I am still super excited to see the new races being played.
I wish we had a new healer, but dancer still looks amazing and I can't wait to try it out.
Overall I'm super excited for the expansion, but I still disagree with some of the decisions being made. I don't want them to scrap it and go back to the drawing board or anything, but when it comes to future decisions I'd like em to keep in mind how people feel about the choices here.
