Am I the Only One?

Stop criticizing or having opinion, consume product and then be excited for next product for consumption.

I think reasonable critiques of products is fine, maybe a different color, or how to improve features, maybe things I would like to see in the future.

But when I imagine features for a product that isn't even out yet and then take out my anger for the product not meeting my imagined expectations on the product designers with threats and insults, well, I'm clearly in the wrong in that scenario.

It might be annoying to you, but making noise like this is really the only way to get the dev teams attention. The fact that big media outlets are starting to write about it is a good sign. Means the message is getting through. I don't like Kotaku either but any signal boost is a good one. Square Enix is going to end up being forced to comment on it or risk more bad publicity before the expansion's release.

I just wanna know why fem au ra hate male viera so much. You see so many of them complaining about this. :v

It's just going to amount to poor content. The Devs have stayed on message about new races, they can't just flip a switch and have new races. They have to devote resources to converting gear that fit and look good on the new races. Not to mention all the other junk that would need to done.

It's already clear these two races have been shoe horned into this expansion since they already admitted that there will be no wearable head gear available to them.

Screaming and threatening isn't going to make your wishes instantly granted. It'll come at a cost.

Eh, I agree people saying or taking the lack of viera as a personal attack or a homophobic or sexist statement is ridiculous and unwarranted, but a lot of these "STOP COMPLAINING THREADS" seem to imply that any sort of criticism is bad criticism, I've seen a lot of similar replies when people complained about BLU, Eureka, DIADEM or the plethora of other bad QoL problems with this game. I'm just not a fan of the "Shut up and stop whining" argument that a lot of these threads have.

Again I agree people who state that this is a homophobic strike against them are completely wrong, but people saying we shouldn't expect anything from Square enix but what they give us are....backwards to say the least. We should be demanding this product get more support than it's already gotten, we should be demanding that they get more staff, more time, and more money to do what we the fanbase would find enjoyable as well as what the devs choose to give to us. This to me isn't about genderlocks but just about VOICING a dissenting opinion on the state of the game that often times gets met with a "Shut up" response from a lot of people.

I'm more so just not in line with that these forums need to be positive feedback non-stop 100% of the time.

I don't think anyone expects them to drop everything and focus all efforts on removing the genderlocks as soon as possible. That's just crazy. I think what most people want is just some confirmation that the genderlocks are temporary and that the counterparts will be added at some point in time. Whether it is in the 5.0 patch cycle or 6.0 or whatever. Leaving it up in the air is just going to breed more and more tension.
