As long as I don't see any offical statement I can't really expect anything.

The point on Armor construction in the art department is very realistic; i fear people won't agree with that excuse, but it's very legitimate.

People have to look at this in the perspective of a game developer.

Where? I didn't see any official reply so far on the forum?

It hasn't been on the forums. News articles and interviews with him said the team was looking at feedback and in MrHappy's interview they talked about what it takes to make a new race.

This I already know, what I meant is whether or not we will get the opposite gender once they finally read the feedback, evaluated the cost etc.etc..

Then in your looking to the wrong place for a answer for that. In the interview Yoshi said they had just got back into the office and started looking at the feedback to the point he asked MrHappy what the NA reaction to the new races were. We wont see anything maybe until next week. The races are sounding incredibly rushed to the point we don't even have headgear set for them

the thing that I get is his mentions fans wanting a more animalistic/beast race, but in almost every MMO they make up a small minority of the playerbase (as low as 2% in some games) and that's with having them from release and not having to pay to race change or re-lvl and put yourself behind.

So from a game development standpoint it doesn't make sense unless they believe they can create a beast race that everyone and their mother is going to love and that will have more player then the potential for male Viera. ( know a lot of people who enjoyed the race in 12 and A2 who wanted to know what the males looked like, so it's chance not only to get those currently playing that are interested, but those who aren't)

It is and anyone who worked in 3d modeling will know how time consuming it can be to make sure thousands of gear fit and rigged to a newly made mesh.
