Why do you want a new race? Are you so unhappy with the ones we're having? Is it just for the sake of having something new? Since its only cosmetic in the end but requires quite a bit or work, I would imagine, I dont understand the appeal of adding a new race - when the world is already well established without that race - AuRa were weird enough, if you ask me...
While constantly asking for a new race does seem kinda outrageous, it does give the developers ideas on how popular the demand is, and what people are wanting to see. Adding new races IS a part of world building, and while 'the world is already well established' without additional ones, as expansions come by it WILL be necessary to eventually add new races as our world is expanded. But not all races need to be playable either (Vanu vanu and Gnath).

Yugiri was introduced during 2.X. The Au'ra were added as a playable race in 3.X, and we're going to be traveling to some of their native lands in 4.X. Seems like the best we can realistically hope for is a new playable race being revealed in MSQ that might become playable in 5.0. 1 new race every 2-3 expansions sounds like a decent pace to match the speed of world expansion.
