This has now become beyond ridiculous!

Why are you so upset about something they announced up front? You knew Vierra and Hrothgar couldn't wear headgear and yet you still somehow think they should?

I understand this point but a lot of the frustration with hats right now is the only item of clothing from the Valentine's event is a freaking hat. Viera and hrothgar are being entirely denied the fun in having a new seasonal piece of gear to wear. That is NOT okay. That reward could have been literally anything else, but for some reason SE chose something that would exclude two races.

That being said: event items shouldn't be things that two races can't use. Just like having the only event items be yard furniture. It's bad taste.

Exactly this ^

but did say we would get hair. I hope that they say SOMETHING in the next event in May.

Above everything else this personally infuriates me. I chose viera partially because I knew the hat issue would rarely interfere with my glamming habits. As a miqo I rarely wore hats aside from some seasonal glams, so I knew I could live without having any hats. However part of this decision was SE's promise that viera and hrothgar would get new hair. And what have we got? Nothing, while all the other races got multiple new hairstyles since 5.0. We don't even have the smallest scrap of an announcement that new hair is coming for us. No concept art, no teaser, nothing. It's like they forgot about viera and hrothgar.

And no covid is not an excuse for choosing a hat for a seasonal event, nor is it an excuse for saying literally nothing about viera and hrothgar hair. Even just a little announcement that something is coming would be huge for us.
