Viera & Hrothgar need access to more helmets/Hats

No they don't need it. It would be nice but in these hard times with the coronavirus about, people dying to give Hrothgar a hat would be horrible. So no, they don't *need* more access.

Who is anyone to say what the game needs or not, that was their opinion. It's up to Square Enix to agree or not.
The corona excuse doesn't fly with me, I'm still paying the same price to access the game; I'm a stakeholder.

...ok c'mon dude.
The Corona Excuse is a decent enough excuse. Im sure even the Male Viera Group doesn't want to risk the health of SE's employees & Dev team just to get something they want. (I hope) Just because you pay a monthly subscription to earn the ability & privilege to play an online game doesn't mean you can tell SE & crew to risk their health during an Epidemic.

No one is asking them to risk anything. Adding more helmets/hats isn't going to make them contract the virus.
I'm asking them to make decisions that allow them to add hats/helmets to Viera; such as delaying patches and do research into what their competitors are doing in a disaster situation such as this.

But they already have trouble working with the game, even less some ''extra stuff'' because of corona. Yes they aren't in contact with it, but that is why they aren't in the office, but rather working from home. I don't think its reasonable to say corona didn't make things harder for the dev team...

Curious, how does doing research into what other Companies are doing during the Pandemic = Getting Hats & Helmets to Viera?
Just, that line of dialogue reads pretty weird. Like reading that Black Desert Online is doing an event about catching and slaying runaway werewolves from an ancient lab, followed by a Raid about slaying the Head Werewolf that started it all, will translate into Viera getting more Glamour.

They could learn how South Korea's mmo developers are handling their development cycle to learn and adapt it to their own. Even for single player games they could learn how other japanese game developers are handling their project management cycle and deliverables. All of that affects the decision-making of if and how they could add helmets/hats to female Viera.

If this were a failing game, maybe this idea would have a little more merit.

Why is COVID 19 coming up in this thread? I have very tired eyes tonight, so maybe I've missed something, but I don't think anyone said that SE should absolutely be working on this right now while everyone else is being quarantined.

However, it has been almost a year now, and very little progress has been made with Viera & Hroth. It's a bit insulting when new hairstyles that came out with ShB and since then aren't even modeled for those two races. Adding new things to a game are going to take time and effort. I don't understand why some players are OK with the excuse "Oh, well, they warned us they would be limited". That's just bonkers.
