For example, I think the male midlanders are too short and boyish, highlanders look like cavemen, roegdyans look like dollar store hulk action figures, miqo'te are cat dudes, and au ra has too much clipping - I like what they look like though.

However, I do NOT think I race should be designed on the specific fetishes of each group of people, which is what many people here seem to be calling for veiled or not. To be honest, I think some people go way too far with it in mmorpgs - this isn't exclusive to this game either. I remember people reading off people's bios in goldshire or whatever in WoW... really, really weird.
Okay, ignoring everything else you said because men have played as women forever without it having to be a fetish...

No one should ever read the RP bios in WoW's Goldshire. >>;; I've seen some dark and dangerous things in those that I'd call the cops for if I could. I took my RP as far from GS as I could lmao.

I just don't understand where people got the idea that Viera would automatically be this submissive twink race??? Or this child like race??? It's clearly stated in the lore right now that male viera are incredibly dangerous, live in solitude, and are rough and tough forest guardians. They're not braiding their hair with flowers and giving themselves the ole purp nurp for funsies. If anything, their hair should be wild and mane-like imo, they should be a relatively scowly looking race, and they should be decently muscular without hulking out or being frail, dainty little bois.
