if we got Hrothgar we would have gotten a wheres viera thread and would have moved on and migrated back to the viera support thread
But...

If we had just got Viera, we'd never see Hrothgar.

By getting one of each and causing this backlash, we have a real chance of unlocking the other gender for each race in 6.0

Therefore this decision was more beneficial for the future of the game as a whole.
