Quote from Mihile;368029:
But why take it out? this won't improve game play, If it were there, taking out gender selection would remove several players' characters, so your saying if it were there you would want it taken out, that is quite an ignorant idea.
And taking out a gender lock wouldn't improve game play either,
since you're still playing the game the same way.
Your reasoning is bad and you lack any actual argument to the discussion other than "this should be in the game," which you've yet to actually justify.
Also, if there were a gender lock, and they removed a gender for each class, no characters would be lost if they coded the game well. So you're wrong on that one too.

It's not just gender lock, any change in the game will affect the players in some way. For example, when they were planning to make your equipment's max durability decrease after every dungeon, about 2/3 of the Korean Forum player protested and said they will switch to another game if that much grinding in the game is needed. It's possible removing gender lock will provoke frustration from the players, note that most people are not logical, they are emotional, changing one thing they are comfortable with to another means more effort and adaption.
So, should the dev spent more time remodeling the characters, more time restructuring the dialogs to npc, and risk the possibility of losing players for the little possibility that they might draw more players into the game because now gender choice is available; or should they make the boss fight more epic, release more fancy clothing, and update the content to draw more players, as well as keep the old player satisfied?
That's just my opinion, you don't have to accept it if you don't want to, but seriously, if you want gender change, go convince the devs, it's not going to happen if you just complain here.
