1. Automatic translation is very bad at handling nuance, and often gets context wrong. It is not yet at the stage where it will always give good results just by being applied and left to run by itself.

2. Integrating an automatic translator into the code of a game as complex as RuneScape would be a huge (and expensive) undertaking.

3. By introducing a discussion of "pronouns" you are deliberately choosing to make this a political issue.

Yes my dear Archaeox! You are correct. I have done this deliberately! However, surely you must agree that it was not I who made a decision to introduce this political issue into the game. It was Jagex! Some of us don't want to be reminded on a daily basis of this political issue whilst we play our favorite game. You act so pious!

Pride is a front. Stop shoveling this crap down my/our throats! Runescape should not be a platform for real world issues!
