Pronouns Question

I don’t care about pronouns but it would be nice if we can be called by our titles as well. You can pick from whatever your pronoun maybe or to be called by your title.

I feel you and I don’t mind either way. I think of it as business POV, it might take like 3 hours for one programmer to implement. Maybe that’s 200 bucks, will the change get them more than 200 dollars? Or if it loses them money, will it offset the amount lost by more than 200 dollars?

Doesn’t have to be voiced. It can change text.

Pronouns already change based on predetermined options. This just separates that from body type.

Comparing people’s fears on an expansion involving spiders to pronouns is far off stupid. Just download TRP3 and finish your lunch.

There have been pronouns since the beginning of the english and other languages

Their are more pressing things for them to work on and fix, etc than that. You got Body 1 and Body 2 instead of Male and Female so be happy and deal with it. Stop pushing this on everyone else! Games are meant to be an escape from reality and you’re bringing that into this, just stop!

I’m not one to tell someone who they can or can’t be in love with and want to marry. I have gay friends, but even they think this stuff is going too far now. In the workplace sure you want me to use “they” or whatever pronoun then sure, I’ll respect whoever respects me, but keep this out of games and entertainment meant to be an escape from the real world.

Especially in a game this old, you’re asking them to go back through 2 decades of content to make changes just for this? They’ve not fixed things like actual bugs for years, so
this is not a priority.

LOL you have no idea 2 decades worth of content to make those changes. It’s not simple ctrl+F and make a few changes, it requires more work than just that. This is why they are programmers and you are not.

Since language period, I would imagine. As soon as someone got tired of saying someone else’s name when they spoke of them in the third person lol

The problem is that people want to import that HR culture into video gaming. Especially online gaming. They expressly do not want to keep lines between entertainment and real life agendas.

Not so, it’s just a for character backstory. the way you put it comes off as rude.

Oh no, you got me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Let’s say I’d like a discussion to actually be had.

I think the majority do not want development time towards this “feature” and can see the state of things deteriorating in the basic functionality of the game itself.

Let’s not.

Okay. And?

It doesn’t matter to you. It’s not your character.

The door is that way :arrow_right_hook: :arrow_heading_up: :arrow_heading_down: :repeat: :leftwards_arrow_with_hook:

How?

Yeah this is pretty much what I would expect out of a general discussion thread. That went downhill fast.

Ive talked to a few folks and theyre under the impression that the list of genders and pronouns are literally limitless.
How do you expect a company to develop a dropdown menu for that and NOT leave someone out?

Actually yeah it might not be 3 hours, the technical debt for a 20 year old game with Blizz tier turnover must be INSANE

It should be 3 hours, or 20 minutes even, but knowing Blizz … :clock4:
