Genderlock reminder to SE

[Lilseph]

the multiple other threads with thousands of replies wasn't reminder enough lol?

Apparently not, people here think that their opinion is so important that requires a new thread. However, it can also be because they have no idea how discussion boards work.

i got you fam

Ah, nice, the 1% wants it gone. Let's remember that people that don't care or are opposed to it, would just completely disregard these polls and move into other subjects. There are many parameters that should be considered. If you want a legit pool, make multiple characters accross different worlds and ask random people. Get a sample of every server and then come up with a bit more accurate numbers.

I want to make this thread to remind SE that a majority of their playerbase wants genderlock to be removed as soon as possible, and I want to use this thread to keep reminding them about it. Please SE, just make an official response soon. It's getting quite annoying to have to wait so much for you to say that we will get genderlock lifted

Excuse me, I'm part of the playerbase and no, I don't want it.
Pls rephrase "The majority" because at best you do not know its true. You assume so, based on the XIV -related sites you use that discuss this. The sites I use, do not.
So saying "the majority wants it" without good evidence to back up your claim is a falsehood. At least provide links to your claim, pie-charts, vox populi-voting sites, anything.

Another thread about genderlocks? Go figure.

At this point, I don't think the dev team can forget about the genderlocks even if they wanted to, at least without partaking in large amounts of alcohol or something

This is what I think when I see comments like this who overreact, "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." This is mainly the problem everytime SE listens to people who want something, but not satisfied w/ it. Men in women's clothing for example, they got that right? Nope, it wasn't enough. How about nerfing difficulty on some raids year back because it was too hard, that also had complaints. Companies needs to just realize that you can't please everyone and make the game that they want to make cause nowadays it's a mess of double standards, money loss, or the brand is ruined for good because they pissed off the actual consumer base that they never listen to, but focused on those who complain over things like this.

Majority of player-base? Don't you mean the "vocal minority".

Your putting words in the mouths of other players. What YOU want is NOT what want. Not even close.

The only thing that needs to be "locked" is these gender locking threads.
The FF14 team has a vision and a budget. Deal with this restriction and move on. I'd rather they spend the resources on getting the game-play, encounters, and content right.

This. Right here. Absolutely. I remember some threads being purged shortly after fanfest and mods should keep at it.

SE is not trying to silence people, forum mods are trying to get them to behave on a less toxic level.

Maybe not the majority, but a large enough number to be significant at least. The majority is probably indifferent. That's how it usually works. Very few people actual support the genderlock though, because why would you? More options is good for everyone. The only people who vocally support a genderlock are doing so out of pettiness, because they know people want something they don't care about and want to trash it. :v

Orrr…. we acknowledge that the all female Viera and all male Hrothgar are being implemented without being able to show headgear, which means they barely had enough time to get them out by expansion release, and with that in mind we'd' much rather the dev team focus on other things that actually affect gameplay. We also acknowledge how much time and hard work they go through and commend them for it instead of condemn them for lack of completed races, which we find to be far more petty.

Comments like yours that make assumptions is exactly where those who support genderlock (i.e. support the dev team's decision) get the impression that you lot are just a bunch of self-entitled, bickering babies who can't actually post anything of merit. What we see is that many players want more options, and we indeed did get two more of them, and many of you are still unhappy. But that within itself is ok. It's ok to be disappointed that there are no male Viera and female Hrothgar. However, mongering comments such as yours make you come off as severely unappreciative of what the devs have to go through and the very game you're playing.

Can't you guys go through one day without bringing up the genderlock thing? It's not like they're just going to drop what they're doing regarding the entire expansion right now, especially when the XV event is coming soon, in order to suddenly design a male Viera and female Hrothgar when they just said that the funds and time weren't there for them right now.
