    I guess the fact that people are forgetting this says a lot about why they don't do it more.
    It's also notable that the NPCs for that event were those 3, no Miqo'te, Lala or Au'Ra in sight. As always so much is open to personal bias, and those who feel that their chose player race is hard done by will continue to feel that way no matter what because a relatively small minority of players choose that race. Therefore they will always be rare in-game, and forcing the matter through some in-game version of positive discrimination would be yet another example of real world politics intruding into the game. The point is people choose to play who and what they choose to play. Starlight posters featuring pretty Miqo'te and Au'ra females in mini-skirts will not change that one jot.

    'forcing'? Player character demographics show an inherent player bias towards certain race/gender combinations, taking note of that with game art is not forcing anything on anyone, it's being responsive to player character demographics.

    I'm not sure that the game promotional material does that, I think it's pretty well inclusive. I don't think the in-game event posters for things like Moonfire Faire or Starlight are impacting player choice, but in any case, as PArcher pointed out, the moonfire faire this year used both a Rogadyn and an Elezone as two of 3 races in the event art, and as the NPCs for the event. So please, don't act like people don't know about Elezen, Highlanders or Roegadyn, that's just silly.
