Here's the thing. I disagree with you. I do not care for the way they have characterized Female Au Ra. I have my reasons for such, which I have expressed. I don't think they're sinister. I don't think they're stupid. I don't think they've made a bad decision. I don't think people who disagree with me are wrong. I simply do not care for their aesthetic choice. Will it work out? Yes, no doubt it will. Are many people happy with it? Yes, yes they are. Should that change my opinion? I don't really think so. I'm happy for those looking forward to Au Ra, its always good to have things to look forward to, and SE deserves all sorts of credit for coming up with content and additions that have people so excited. cool

Honestly, Mister Helix, I feel like you have not read anything I've said in this entire thread. I wish.

Thank you for literally saying all that I was saying. I really do appreciate that! All credit and discredit for it goes to SE. We may disagree on our own judgement of the decision (that's personal opinions for you!) but I really didn't think that saying SE was responsible for a decision that they made could ever be so controversial. Does the discredit go to SE for basing a decision based off player preference? Because I don't think somebody could really blame them for going off the preferences of their playerbase unless one held the belief that SE shouldn't listen to the playerbase on things like this.

Upon seeing the Au Ra my reaction was "meh" because fantasia is dumb and alting makes me wanna self-terminate

I'd never guess that it's SE's fault that everybody prefers catgirls over roes, but apparently this is some kinda They Live! situation goin on here

This is ridiculousness on stilts. They had a decision to make. They could have used input as varied as astrological signs, a game of cards, or comparing noses in making it. The method doesn't matter, the responsibility for that decision lies with them. That they chose to use a particular set of data does not shift that responsibility to those who generated the data. The method DOES matter, they were designing a race so they looked at what races people liked to play, this isn't rocket science

How about ANY BODY HAIR AT ALL?! I want to look like I'm wearing a sweater when I unequip my chest slot! Y-yes pls... Why don't dudes get beard options at the Aesthetician!? I just want my in game toon to represent Berrod's body hair so I don't have to describe it every time he takes his shirt off. /sob Same with Tattoos. I very much picture Dogberry much hairier and covered in old timey naval tattoos. I'd kill to be able to actually represent Osk with all the gross-looking torso scars he's got but alas

This is a dodge. They made the decision. That's all that matters in that regard. Honestly, this issue doesn't bother me much. Mild personal disappointment, an eye-roll over the visuals of the race itself. Its not going to stop me from enjoying and appreciating SE products, but the amount of dissembling in this discussion is getting silly. It's not really a dodge if it's the whole reason for the decision

not to mention that people associate "bestial" with "big and burly" and not "like an animal", female Au Ra are very bestial, they're just not burly or big

where's my roe armpit hair SE you fascists

pizza

You're right about that, if the higher-ups at SE valued "integrity" over making a profit we'd all be playing Guild Wars 2 right now

But then how is giving the majority another option not preferable, from a business standpoint at least?

not tiny: tiny: the weebs have spoken

pizza

chicken

basketball
