Anything can be considered whining. But I wasn't saying he was exactly, I was stating that literally Whining about the other side is Childish.
Thanks for the Insult btw. No idea what you consider my reading comprehension has anything to do with being Mature. But..alright.

Well actually no, not everything can be considered whining as it has a specific meaning

You quoted him specifically so it's not unreasonable to think you thought his post was 'childish whining' but f it was more of a general statement I don't agree necessarily but I apologize for my jab at you

All good dude.
And I can understand your perspective.

Lore doesn't provide a convincing explanation on why eorzea is suddenly populated by the new races, and there's zero reason why female hrothgar and male viera are nowhere to be seen in both worlds.

We went to Ivalice, Viera are from Ivalice. We also went to a Forrest untouched by the Light that still housed surviving Viera.
Hrothgar are from Ilsabard, which isn't far from Ruby Tide or Garlameld.

Male Viera hide and keep to the woods. They practically never leave. In Viera lore if Viera leave the Forrest, they are outcasts, and lose "The Voice from the woods" (I think its called something else but in this moment Im forgetting it. ) The Females are the only ones that Venture out and are willing to turn the woods. The Males arnt. The males dont particularly get along with others.
So without a reason, they still wouldn't come out of Hiding in the Source and in the First if they aren't wiped out by the Light.
Hrothgar Females are just few in far between. But honestly the only real explanation to this is that the Devs haven't had the time and/or resources to make Models yet.
Maybe they will with Male Viera next Patch. Maybe sooner, or even later. Time will tell.

If the empire was wiping out the viera I think the dudes would venture out that or they just sit in their tree houses and die out :/

Not saying they can't add one, just that it shouldn't be given out like candy like the equally "rare" male miqo.

If they did this to female Viera, would you like this?
You want people to jump through hoops trying to unlock another gender...really?
That's not fair and if they did this, prepare for the mightiest of crap storms
this forum has ever seen lol.

Yes actually. I already unlocked the alliance races in wow using a lore abiding questline and an untold amount of dailies for said faction. Adding one for Viera as a whole wouldn't bother me in the slightest. In fact it was a missed opportunity to add actual backstory and reason for them being here. The Au'Ra had a pre-xpac quest line explaining why they are here, what they want, and who they are. The Viera (Lazily copy pasted Fran) got a side appearance in a raid only related to them because suddenly the previously coastal location of Orbonne Monastery from Tactics is now in the middle of the Golmore Jungle. The not-Ronso had even less than that. We didn't even get naming conventions until after they were a playable race.

And yes. I wouldn't mind a relevant lore related quest be used to keep the man bun population roughly at whatever it would be in lore. I do not mind earning something instead of it getting handed to me on a silver platter using a silver spoon. Its completely "fair" that lore reasons can be respected without reducing everything to mediocrity. Whatever whining the forums do is irrelevant, people cry about everything like selfish brats, i wouldn't expect this to be any different.

What I would want for the man buns since the ship has already sailed for everyone else, is simple. You go back to Fran, Fran takes you to a section of the forest under attack, You help them defend the area as a daily hub/eureka esque questline where you eventually entice a local man bun to help protect it, everyone ultimately fails to save the section of forest because the garleans presumable has a deus ex machina in their pocket, large sections of forest burn to the ground, young man buns now venture forth into Eorzea to combat threats to the forest from external sources.

dirty, simple, lore friendly, not everyone will want to do it, even less will complete it. Suddenly being a manbun has weight over yet another "i paid for a fantasia"
You can argue "its only a matter of time before everyoen unlocks it!" and i would just counter with "yes let me tell you about how many people got every relic weapon from eureka!" The population will far closer to accurate than just throwing them under the lore bus with the male miqos.

Then they should do this for the female Viera as well while forcing everyone playing one to switch off until they unlock it.

That will require retconning lore. As one of the "deals" with Fran and the "queen" is to take in refugees from Robanastre. Many of who were Viera. (and i guess Bangaa weren't welcome)
But we both know that isn't happening and they have no reason too. Being spiteful isn't going to make people change their minds about this.
