This I disagree with. Changing a character model is much, much less work than creating a whole new system for content. Also, you are comparing apples to oranges. Content should not be brought up when talking about aesthetics.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the point you are trying to get across is that because Miqote have cat ears and tail they are fine having unnatural proportions and a posture that amplifies the terrible model?
Also, this problem is with all other races as well. People just notice it and gripe more about female Miqote because of the unnatural posture making it look more severe.
Really? What new system? All they need to do is to make the mob claimable, which is something they have in game currently (leve targets are not claimable by anyone but the people in the levequest, FATE mobs are not claimable if you are too high level).
And shouldn't content be something that is introduced before aesthetics? Especially when the demand for the content is so much greater than that for the aesthetics?
So what are you saying? We shouldn't call them out on this unappealing decision because the developer is always right and never does anything wrong? We shouldn't demand better character models even though we had them in 1.0 already? Even though most equipment is STILL fitted for 1.0 bodies?
If I understand you correctly, you were making a statement that changing mesh proportions is more of a task than adding and balancing new mobs and what those mobs drop and debugging it all to boot. I vehemently disagree with this entirely. Also, to your statement of adding content instead, one could say that about literally everything else added that is not considered content but if it increases the appeal of the game and makes it more enjoyable it is just as important as adding new content. Look at party finder for instance, not content but still improves the game.
So let me get it straight, are you saying Square Enix should just leave it how it is because they said so even though most people don't like it? You couldn't of been less clear in your first post. Although, now you kind of sound like one of those people who thought 2.0 WAR was fine as it was before they changed it at the request of the player base.
