I'm a little curious. TERA has issues with censorship, and people dissatisfied with it and seeking decensor mods, and En Masse eventually basically said, "Okay, it's technically against the ToS, but as long as you aren't shouting it from the rooftops or anything, we're not going to care, so just go ahead." I'm curious if Aeria will be taking a similar stance, or... not.

I suppose it's not really that important either way. I'm not a huge fan of censorship, but the apparent latest designs for Western Sentinel actually look fairly decent, unlike the incredibly hideous and half-assed job of censoring the Elin we had for TERA.  

If you want to play the Sentinel class but don't want to put up with that out-of-place censorship, this is about the only choice you'll have thanks to the game developers and their really strange decision (censoring a fictional character that they themselves make a note to say is not under the age of eighteen).

I imagine most people would rather have the game as it's supposed to be rather than resorting to player-side mods but Liveplex aren't giving those people much of a choice in the matter.

If I knew that Liveplex would listen, or that any of them reliably spoke/read English; I would petition them in a heartbeat if I knew where to go to do it and thought for a second they would listen.

I think the Sentinel's interesting and fun to play, but come live release I'll be playing any character class but the Sentinel due to Liveplex making our grown up decisions for us and due to the fact that I refuse to openly support artistic censorship (I'll leave that to the book burners). Even if things were different (say the Punisher class was getting the censorship hammer instead of the Sentinel) my stance wouldn't change. For most of us this isn't about how young the Sentinel looks or closet pedophiles getting what they want; it's about the simple fact that censorship is nothing but a tool to make insecure people feel better about themselves when something makes them uncomfortable. If I see something on TV I don't like I don't blow up the TV station...I just turn the channel.

Sadly, there are times when our decisions are made based off the decisions of others, be it good or bad.
