This type of non-sense comes up all the time, someone makes a thread about something and someone takes it as a chance to whine about this same issue in a drive by post that's actually been addressed by the devs in a q-n-a or stream or interview that they would know if they looked into the matter through googling.

As for Female Hrothgar, I don't assume anything. The in game art depiction of them just leaves them bald and as far as I'm concerned the backlash to the current state of these limited races may lead to any number of different approaches to these genders if they ever do them. I could easily see a case for Viera males having their ears use the Miqote head system so they can be treated like a normal race for example. I could see the problems of Hrothgar and Viera going the way of Highlander Eyebrows for their gender counter parts.

Either way, I personally wouldn't care if I was stuck with 1 hair style if I liked it and liked my race/ gender combo.
If they had actually said "we're still working on it, just wait a bit longer please" any time in the last 8/9 months there'd be a lot less people butting into these threads or starting new ones about it. For all we know they consider what they're doing right now 'continuing to work towards alleviating these issues'.

Ideally we'd all be able to get on board with female Hrothgar and male Viera without having to worry about what that means for female Viera and male Hrothgar development, but when the messaging from SE more often than not is " Well, we wanted to do both but we could only do one" it's not entirely unrealistic to think that if they're working on male Viera and female Hrothgar that cuts into time spent working on their counterparts. Unless, like you said, they actually plan to launch both of them bald and/or hat-less, which seems unlikely to me.

Hopefully they're working on something big for character creation next expansion and we can all be happy, but if they do decide to just add f-Hrothgar/m-Viera I'll be happy for those that want them and hope they will work towards making them all feel more complete.
