    A low percentage of the population plays Roes compared to the other races. It doesn't mean they need to be redesigned. It's all right to have aesthetic choices available that appeal to something other than the majority.

    This is not a fair comparison by any means. Races don't have limited slots on what race can and cannot be played. Because seriously if for instance someone wanted to play a Mi'qote but couldn't be played and was forced to play a Roe. I'm pretty sure they'd have a lot more complaining than "Guys the Goblet is kind of ugly."

    The fix in that situation would be to remove the idiotic race limitation, rather than redesigning Roegadyn. Similarly, the fix in this situation is to make the housing system not unbelievably short-sighted. Especially since redesigning the Goblet so that it's attractive to a larger percentage of the population would just exacerbate the problem with limited housing space, while pissing off those who like the Goblet now.

    "Especially since redesigning the Goblet so that it's attractive to a larger percentage of the population would just exacerbate the problem with limited housing space" - keeping the goblet less attractive isn't going to fix the problem with house space, like you said the fix is increasing the limit, investing in more server resources.

    while pissing off those who like the Goblet now.

    What if those who like the goblet now would also end up liking the redesigned version?
