A bit silly yes, but cmon this game doesn't have '' realistic '' armor or gear that '' makes sense '' to begin with.
Or they could just simply have the ears go away as if they've been folded into the helmet or something I dunno.
A couple of problems actually. For starters if they don't cross check every single piece of head gear with all available head options, the ears will eventually clip with something. As soon as they find one piece of gear that clips the ears, they'll have to redesign it, and cross check it again. You might be willing to accept this now, but I assure you when most people catch the clip, they'll ditch the helm. You also can't just slap some holes in every piece of headgear, as some head pieces would have to be redesigned entirely to accommodate for their ears, which would basically render that piece unrecognizable. IOW, an entirely different head piece that carries the same name.

The other problem is that the ears of the Viera are very distinctive. Without them, you're basically left with another Hyur. I don't think that headgears just making the ears magically disappear is a viable option. It would also be really lazy, and the devs would just catch heat for that down the road.
