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.

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)

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)
Viera would get new hairstyles, hrothgar would get new faces, supposedly. That tells me, no "fix". I doubt they would even admit that there needs to be a "fix". They've always said, due to unique heads, or whatever.. which means a conscious design decision they are content with, as is. Unique heads being a FEATURE, rather than a problem that needs to be fixed. I'm not too confident they have even been looking for a "fix", as you may think. I think your opinion may change when 6.0 rolls around and IF we get updates to these races it's just more of the same. If all we get after 2 years is just "more of the same", we will probably be too deep in, and I highly doubt viera/hrothgar will EVER get some kind of "fix".

No, I really do think the community is being largely ignored when it comes to viera/hrothgar. I don't know about a "stay tuned" for male viera, but if they are going to release male viera/female hrothgar just as limited, probably better off not doing it. I know some people will disagree, but I think it would actually be in SE's best interest at that point, and we don't need a repeat of what has been happening. I seriously doubt new male viera/female hrothgar players would be happy with all these limitations.
