    I do not think it is sexist at all. Both female and male characters have access to the same skills and weapons and gear, so I do not feel like anyone is being descriminated against.

    In this game female characters are treated like queens, I mean, it would be unlady like for a female character to carry a male. However it is polite for the other way around.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    Technically not, atleast with beast races, which is the source of many of the complaints.

    It's still better than some other online games where each class is a specific gender, without any differentiation, and all the female classes are either clerics, casters, or archers, while all the males are warriors. Even with the inclusion of beast races, female characters can still be rather tough physically. Some of the best BMs are females. Won't argue that maybe a little less wouldn't be good, just that it isn't as bad as most make it seem.

    You're forgetting the part where women lack the choice to respond to the makeout session if they are carried. Also, ground and air mounts with the exception of winged elves, have no bearing on the above. Everyone should be able to carry anyone on that regard, but they can't.

    This game is operated in America but MADE IN CHINA, the Chinese still have very different views of women and thus is reflected in their culture. This game is based on Chinese mythology and hence that will not be offered because of such.

    Nor can the male, if the female he is carrying decides to spam "embrace" she will kiss him non-stop. I am sure the assuption was since you already accept to have someone embrace you it is ok to kiss.

    They are beast classes, if you are accepting playing an animal you really should not be complaining about being male or female..... both foxes and tigers (their true forms) males and females look the same... Also, the explanation for them to be human is the use of magic, so you have one animal being magicaly transformed into male humanoid and another into female humanoid. However you have to think about the amount of magic it took to grant them that wish, and see why they only did it to 2 forms and not 4.

    And again, you miss the point completely.

    I agree. It would be nice to be able to carry other girls or guys. Yes carryign a male would look a bit funny but at least so a female can pick up another female and a Male can pick up another male. Would make things so much easier at times. Even if you can't pick up a guy or another girl with walking/ running at least being able to give them a ride on your mount would be nice. Kind of unfair for the girl to be carried all the time yet we can't give the same courtsey to others.

    What the hell is wrong with treating women like queens anyways? If more people did this in real life I bet things would be alot nicer in this world these days.

    I long for the old days, when boys were boys and girls were girls. I guess I'm showing my age now. Ignore me, carry on, lol.

    So, about nixes and that damned bugged skill...so OP. :P

    PS: I know it's neither the Nix nor the Skill that is bugged, simply the lack of PvP damage reduction in the pet's use of the skill. ^_^

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    This will be near impossible to implement. China will still say when asked their opinion on homosexuality "we don't have homosexuals in our country." They are very traditional and very conservative, so the very idea of implementing a feature which can hint at homosexuality will not be put in.
