According to Yoshida? because of the way they handle modeling gear, they are by Yoshida's own admission not optimized in this faculty. My personal assumption? who cares what I personally think, at the end of the day they made the call as they saw fit. My statement stands that if they reversed said call, it will not deeply effect the core content that the playerbase wants as that content is already in pre-production for SHB, and in "POSSIBLE" content in development for 6.0 should not be factored into this argument as whatever content we get for that is already in conceptualization, there could be hundreds of thousands of content concepts we will never see that are not added for this or that reason.

Pointing a finger and saying the racial genders are the primary suspect is speculation as we have no way of knowing.

A) What that content would be (therefore we would not know if it is being worked on by the same division that handles modeling)

B) If the races were the primary reason for cancellation of any content for 6.0.

Similarly again a comparison, many people assumed DNC was the reason we didn't get a healer, when in fact the dev team simply wishes to re-balance the healers and re-define/prune shield healing before adding in a new healer. You could make the argument that DNC took up resources for healer but that at the end of the day is an assumption not substantiated by what information we have.
