I would laugh out loud.

No, seriously. I would laugh until I cried.

I am a bit curious as to the sex appeal of the Viera. Between the oddly-shaped feet, and the whole talons thing, yeah... not really sure why the appeal. (>.> ) .

Well, Eagleheart, when a furry loves a special bunny very, very much...

I was trying to post a funny picture, but I'm doin' it wrong somehow. (o.< ) won't appear in post.

All I can say is BRAIN BLEACH. ;_;

SE: Due to time constraints with 2.0 Veira race will be released as a MALE only race.

The question then is; do they get thongs, or jocks? :P

This forum is cute. It's delicious. It should almost be put under scientific inquiry as to how people behave on it, but I suppose it's the same as most other forums.

People choose options for what they wish on the poll which they have any right to do so, and others with other opinions after seeing different ones being posted begin to not discuss the opinions but rather outright insult them or make snarky comments towards people under that category. Then they proceed to go on a rant about why their opinion is somehow better for the game (lol).

Let's look at facts, shall we? Whatever the most popular option is is just that, the most popular option. The option that will most likely make Square-Enix more money, and the option that will most likely prolong the life of the game. Whether that is because of reason A, reason B, or reason C, that doesn't matter. In the end, none of what any of you say will matter, because the developers will go with the most popular vote.

Not if they're smart. If the most popular vote completely clashes with the theme, style, or direction of the game then they have absolutely no obligation (and should be discouraged) to follow the most popular opinion on a loaded question.

JUST BECAUSE the question mentioned "Viera" does not mean "Oh that MUST MEAN they're planning on adding VIERA OMG!!1!" They're using Viera as an example for "Mammalian demi-beastmen" by using an example (other than Miqo'te) that people are already familiar with.

Seriously, if the devs listened to all the most popular player suggestions without any executive decisions coming from within the dev team then this game will be crap because frankly ALL OF YOU PEOPLE making retarded suggestions on these forums have LITERALLY ZERO game design sense at all and think that YOUR suggestion is the way it should be and that the game will be UTTERLY RUINED without it.

If it clashed with the theme of the game, it wouldn't of been made an option. They don't just randomly come up with ideas to add to the poll, these are all ideas which were already conceptualized in development in some way or another and they have to choose which one to go with, so they consult with the community. They are not going to add concepts that will ultimately hurt the game. The rest of the questions are a matter of opinion about systems already in place.

Ahoy mateys! Rage ho! I'll agree that most people here probably have little to no experience in business or game design but that assumption you just placed is pretty childish. You don't know anyone here, at all. And just because someone is going against your opinion and you begin to capslock tell people off as if they don't know as much as you shows how inexperienced you are, yourself.

Really don't get the obsession with furgirls... Honestly?

People are obsessed with multi-colored Ponies and deny being a furry, why even question it?

[Skies]

Elexia, believe an old veteran, you're going down the path wherein it leads only to war. Seriously, don't prod this subject

[ArkNova]

Can someone please explain to me why my little pony became really popular like hello kitty? (This is in fact a real question and not trying to troll) and to keep from completely derailing the current subject, I wouldnt mind seeing bunny people or demonic races or reptilian races. When it comes to things like mounts,classes/jobs, or races Im pretty opened minded about it.
