Possible Ideas to Address Hrothgar/Viera Hat Disparity?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Im gonna be lazy in the moment and not try to refind the source, but they said the Hrothgar and Viera would be getting new Hairstyles unique to them.
Dont know about Viera, but for Hrothgar this makes sense because not alot of the current hairstyles would fit on them very well. As said; they would look ridiculous.
Now, the big thing here that is possibly overlooked because of how much people want it to hurry up and happen, but it was never expressed WHEN we would see these new Hairstyles. So saying its never gonna happen, or jumping to other conclusions is abit hasty. None of us can speak for YoshiP, the Devs or SE here, there can be a multitude of reasons why it hasn't happened yet, and there is a possibility that many issues will be addressed in 6.0.
Having a whole 2+ years to try and fix something while working on the game seems better then slapping together something half-cocked in a few months or less then a year.
Yeah-yeah the modding community, SE is a Billion dollar company and all that jazz, but I think its better that they actually FIX the issue after being bombarded with how much of an issue it is, rather then a bandaid to temporarily make people happy-but will just make people mad anyway (Like serious, some people find any little thing to complain about)

It is a bit odd, the community hasn't been quiet at all for viera/hrothgar, and SE seems to be largely ignoring the whole thing. 2B butt happens, almost immediately they fix it so people don't have a flat butt glam anymore. Very odd priorities.
I think that whole hrothgar "first" thing is a bit suspicious. Considering viera were the ones on the billboards, and everytime I saw an ad online it was a viera, and largely when it came to ShB I saw viera NOT hrothgar. The whole concept of "Oh, viera were just a handout for the people who wanted it" doesn't really fit..

Ill agree that the 2B butt thing getting addressed fast is an Odd priority, but they did say what happened was an error. What they did with the Viera and Hrothgar was not an Error, they were made as intended wither we like it or not. Hopefully all the stink are leading to needed changes.
I disagree on your idea that the Viera & Hrothgar are being ignored. I chose to belive that they just arn't bringing attention to them without anything to show for it, and its better to remain quiet and reveal when ready, as suppose to making a promise they MIGHT not be able to keep, or even building hype for something that will lead to disappointment.
IE - The response to 'stay tuned' when somebody asked about Male Viera. (Might be a misquote)

There's no way I believe they started working on Hrothgar first and Viera was a last minute inclusion with how badly they bungled their implementation, they were barely finished to even show at their Fan Fest reveal and they had to hide them with dark filters while they kept working on them.

Once again being lazy in the moment, but I think it was said in a video/interview or whatever, that Hrothgar WERE in fact planned before Viera. They wanted to put in a playable Beast Race to mix things up, every playable race is just basically another human, a Beast race is a non-human option. Plus apparently the Lupin were well received and people were upset they weren't playable.
Viera only really happened because, as YoshiP has actually said, "This might be our last chance to make new races for the game. So we wanted to fulfill 2 requests"

Also call it tinfoil hat theory but if Hrothgars needing Fantasia was a deliberate choice as "compensation" because they knew it wouldn't be a popular race then SE would outrank Blizz and EA in scummy business models.

Thats a pretty big Tinfoil hat. Wouldnt make sense to spend all that time, energy and resources to make a new race and do something like that 'because they knew it wouldn't be popular'
Like really, what company would do that? Thats just a giant waste.
