So it appears this thread was moved out of suggestions where I put it..which is odd, is this not a suggestion? lol...anyway obviously for helmets/cowls it's a different story, but things like normal hats like Wild Silk as a perfect example, it looks a bit dumb.
I would love to see cut out holes, ear socks kinda make me wince a little when I see them on my character.
I do not mind some of the hats having the ear socks, and it makes sense that much of the actual armor (leather or metal) would have actual pieces crafted to accommodate miqo'te ears, though I imagine there would be some muffling of sound much as there is for humans in headwear, the one that has always bugged me is that there are so many hat designs that completely hide miqo'te ears altogether.
Not only would this be uncomfortable, but in a meta sense, it messes too with things like our emotes that use the miqo'te ears as a means of expression. Unlike some series with characters that have animal traits and the ears never seem to be used for anything, just there, Miqo'te ears are not merely vestigial and only for hearing, but still retain motor and body language communication functionality as well.
Let the ears clip through everything!
Everyone knows that the only reason to play a male cat is for the ear wiggles. Anything which prevents the ear wiggles is evil and must be destroyed. This includes those ear pockets on metallic helmets which deny the ears from doing the wiggles. Those hats which completely hide the ears are also a crime against nature.
