I will call it 'lazy' because that's how it looks in my eyes and you are entirely within your right to disagree with that assertion, but there's no point trying to argue that it should not or cannot apply in this instance. I'm not pretending to be 'objective'. I'm just telling you how I feel.
You can feel however you please as that is not something anyone should allow themselves to get worked up over, but don't expect not to be found unfair for blaming the devs for doing something "wrong"(calling them lazy implies it) and not be called upon by people who find your unfair comments.... well, unfair. After all, it is an arbitrary and direct criticism of the devs taken from 0 known facts about why the chose the design they did... and an indirect criticism towards those who really like how the class turned out.
Call it petty if you wish but there is a significant difference between "feeling" something was lazily designed and "declaring" it to be the case. I'd argue that even "feeling" such would be a prejudicially, misplaced concept but this, to me, is really feeling increasingly redundant as something to debate over because, as you said, it's largely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
(Again Ashren, I apologise if I am misrepresenting your opinion from earlier).

Quote:I got my hopes up for something a bit more... something. Different? Beastly. They're nice as they are, and I'm certain they'll appeal to a lot of people, but between the obviously (possibly pandering) dimorphism and the stated facts of basically being elezen and miqo'te with different ears, horns, and scales, I can't get excited about them. I just had my heart set on something different.
To use the person's post as an example, she basically shared the sentiment as those who called the design lazy, without essentially calling the choice "bad" or "improper". The word "lazy" just strikes a bad chord with people because it sounds less like a personal opinion and more like some sort of suggested, negative fact.
