Miqote in charge?

Something I noticed while talking to a friend, but every race is represented in one form or another with leadership positions except the Miqote. Are we just not trustworthy enough to be a leader of a guild/city-state? Or are we just way too aloof that when we get offered a leadership position we turn up our tails and walk away. I mean, there are plenty of Miqote who are involved in our class quests and such, but where are the Miqote leaders? I demand racial equality dammit!

The armourer's guildmaster is a miqo'te.

The Arcanist Guild leader is a male Miqo'te. The one we see in the actual guild is just the acting leader, since he's always off on field studies.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about her, but still, that's one Miqote out of what, like 16 guilds? Off the top of my head:
Thaumaturge: Lalafel
Gladiator: Hyur
Pugilist: Hyur
Archer: Elezen
Lancer: Hyur
Arcanist: Roe
Marauder: Roe
Conjurer: Padjal I think?

Botany: Lalafel
Mining: Hyur
Fishing: Lalafel

Weaver: Roe
Alchemist: Hyur
Goldsmith: Hyur
Blacksmith: Hyur
Armorer: Miqote (the only one)
Carpentry: Elezen
Cooking: Roe
Leatherworking: Hyur

Gridania: Padjal
Limsa: Roe
Uldah: Lalafel
Ishgard: Elezen

I think that's it. Too tired to go into the Jobs at the moment, so I'll add them later if someone else hasn't.

We are cat people, we don't like to ba caged in one place. Look at the ARC leader he is never on the guild.

They figured 1 miqo'te leader was enough since 80% of players are miqo'te. Too many cats as it is.

See the pattern?

From a Lore perspective, Miqote don't really make sense when it comes to being guild masters and such. They are not domesticated, and for the most part don't seem to care for such things.

The real question is how Hyurs got their grubby fingers into everything.

The ARC leader's totally in the guild. . .in Gridania. ACN is Arcanist :p

Anyway, no mention yet of the U tribe?

What can I say? We get around. Plus, it helps when we're generally better educated than the other races. :p

And with all the silly customs about alpha males gathering every available female they can get their pervy claws onto, or just the relative lack of males relative to females, someone's got to step up and keep them them lonely miqo'te company. ;)

Was gonna say, how has that not come up yet? It's more a matter of lore that miqo'te tend to gather in the smaller tribal groups such as the U in Forgotten Springs. Those that do leave the tribes for the city probably are not terribly leadership minded, though there are the noted exceptions above in the guilds, and to add another R'ashaht Rhiki has a decent post as Storm Commander (not at the very top of the Maelstrom, but not bad either).
