But why do you think you have to worry about that? There is zero danger of GGG doing something GGG don't want to do. Nobody here has any power over them.

I mean, I could start a thread asking for them to build a rocket to send Path of Exile T-shirts to the moon. There's literally nothing to be gained by starting some strenuous argument against the idea; GGG will either do it (in which case they thought it was a good idea for their business, so you would I assume be celebrating) or they won't (in which case you have nothing to complain about).

You don't need to safeguard GGG, they're big kids, they can handle themselves. And you don't need to advocate for the status quo - nothing happening it is always the likeliest outcome of making a suggestion on a company's website.

I was considerably surprised when, during ExileCon, I realized that you were sticking with gender-locked classes for Path of Exile 2, especially considering how you seem determined to rework, expand on, reinvent, or replace more or less every single other aspect of the Path of Exile experience.

I don't play male characters if I can help it. It feels bad! It's a gender thing. I haven't made a single character in Path of Exile that isn't a Witch, Ranger, or Scion, and I don't intend to change that.

I was looking forward to PoE2 with the hope that I wouldn't be limited to half of the passive tree and a handful of ascendancies. Instead, with no Scion, it's looking like my options will be even more limited.

I realize that there's probably not much that can be done at this point. But maybe consider letting us choose our character, and then letting us also choose where we start on the passive tree?

Please reconsider gender-locked classes for Path of Exile 2. It feels bad.

Thank you.
