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.
My personal theory is that Viera/Hrothgar was a late decision inside their expansion cycle (and you can tell by just noticing the shared hampem gear). After all, when ShB was release devs already started working on the next one. If 6.0 all-new items don't have full headgear support then is never going to happen, same for any new unlockable hairstyle.

I also agree with you about male Viera and female Hrothgar. People say that now, but sooner or later certain headgear/hairstyle that you like is not usable and it sucks to the point you think about changing back. At least is that way for me and I accepted no headgear and no new hairstyles a long time ago.
