seeing your previous comment about your government making your IRL mtx genderlocked makes me understand that you're simply biased against people having fun in video games.

if you're talking real life, i m with you and agree with you to a certain extent where just wearing girls cloths does not make you a girl.

but in video games?

why are you even playing video games? i m pretty sure you cant cast spells in real life.

can i ask what your IRL gender is? i m guessing a male. and if so i would also ask if you've played tomb raider or any other game where you play as a woman before.

How bout no?

I want development time spent on useful things. The only people that care about character genders are trolls looking for virtue signaling credit.

Grow up and keep your politics out of video games.

dude. you're so anti woke that you're labelling everything as woke shit without realizing the ones asking for different genders are non woke people.

GGG DOESNT need to put too much effort into creating new stuff this way.

in fact if you REALLY want development time spent on useful things, you would be asking GGG to just make 2 character models, 1 male, 1 female. and thats it. not individual character models for each class.

thats the REAL solution game devs actually went with. you can see this in titan quest, grim dawn, dungeon siege1.

You can NOT see this in Diablo 2, Last epoch, Poe1 and Poe2.

If the rationale for having unlocked genders is truly unrelated to politics, there should be no issue keeping it the way it is.

It can be just another feature the developers decide not to add because they feel like it.

Lol your rationale "if its not related to politics they can keep it the same way" kinda makes no sense because it applies the same on the opposite end. I can also say

If its not related to politics then they can add the feature in.

See? We cant debunk each other with this statement, it becomes fluff.

I dont see any value from your points as i see that you are grasping at straws trying to defend your pov.

I will agree with you on your last paragraph tho. Its up to the devs whether to implement or not.

Thats not up to us and youre right.

But that said, the entire purpose of a feedback forum is to let the devs know what we want. I want non genderlocked, you want genderlock. I prefer it one way, you prefer it another. Nothing wrong with that.

I just find it weird that youre so against not having genderlock. How does this affect you? Why cant others have fun?

No.

No , the characters are perfect as they are . I hope GGG will invest resources where they matter, not to comply to some bs agenda.

i agree the characters are perfect as they are.

i agree that ggg should invest resources where they matter.

i m not asking for any change to made to the characters no one here is asking for that ZERO.

heck, if you've been reading my suggestions i've even mentioned let us choose the class and then choose a character model so that doesnt require any great investment on gggs part.

as for complying to some agenda, woke agenda exists. i am anti woke too but you're out of your mind if you equate anytime someone asks for gender options in a game as being part of some agenda.

It's not simple, it's not needed.

RP a different gender. Simple.

need? - yeah we dont need it.

want? - hell yeah many of us want it.

i still dont get all the pushback.

but i guess this is like karma

long ago SSF wasnt a thing and i was against SSF and i was also one of the "we dont need SSF" / "just dont trade!" gang.

i've changed my views now but i can see how frustrating it can be for the ssf gang since i m experiencing the exact same thing now lol

I mean, I'd pay a fair bit of money for gender swaps in poe1. Poe2's at a stage where it'd be easier to implement and I imagine has a fair few players who'd pay for it as well.
