When you cross the line, you poison what you're fighting for, and what you're fighting for is no longer the pure ideal you were fighting for. Of course, no one has gone to this obvious extreme, yet. And hopefully never will.
But for those threatening or will quit because Square Enix is not catering to your ideal? Is the kind of immature browbeating that poisons your argument. Show your support by playing, and put some confidence that the FFXIV developers will deliver what you're asking for when they feel they can.
Most of the MMO examples given so far? Did not start with homosexual marriage. Be reasonable, look at what you're comparing, and see that everything takes time, especially with delicate situations like this.
As for me? I'm all for it, but I also know it won't ruin my roleplaying experience if it doesn't happen immediately, or ever. But this is just me. I don't tend to always roleplay my matching sexuality.
And in the end, love transcends a title. If my female Miqo'te finds a female _____, I'll roleplay a wedding with out the 'official' consent. But, again, that's just me. Me putting a little more faith in FFXIV to deliver. And even if they don't?
I still got everything else.
Who has threatened to quit so far?
It's a common threat on the official forums. But the official forums are also pretty much the massive sum of the minority of the most vocal, and worst, individuals around.
It's sort of a blanket statement for anyone who's done so on the official forums, even if they haven't done so here. But, unfortunately, browbeating and threats is the most many people can do. And it never works.
In the end, a little patience goes a long way. Most head developers wouldn't even touch on the subject, but Yoshi-P did ask people for patience on this matter. He's responded, is it not enough the issue is at least being considered?
If not, then continue striking when you've already gotten an official response. I have my doubts it will any good, and just quite the opposite. Your cries for equality, as righteous as they are, have been heard. Now, you should wait. And if your waiting brings no fruits of labor, then strike again.
Do not let the iron cool, but do not break it beneath your blows. Least there be nothing left but scraps and broken dreams.
