Even Yoshi-P is guilty of that. He really wanted to see a beast race made playable, yet he plays a female lalafell.

I'd sooner see enhanced character customisation for the playable races we have already, but if they do add another in the future...then hopefully it'll be something conventionally attractive as to be worth the extra work it'll take to make emotes, mounts and glamour fit.
Just because they aren't super popular and bloody everywhere doesn't mean that people dont want them or like them. YoshiP not suddenly switching his Main to a Hrothgar does not reflect anything about his stance on Hrothgar. We needed something like the Hrothgar for Variety, we got them for Variety. If you haven't noticed, every option till now has been...basically a Human. We got Traditional Elves, then Some humans with Cat ears and tails, some with Horns and Scales, and then the Viera; just Humans with weird feet (If you keep the racial Gear) and Bunny Ears. Not a whole lot of Variety.
Even Guild Wars had something like the Asura, a Non-human Option, and then the Sylvari, who look like humans, but are Tree People with Customization option to reflect it such as Leaves for Hair.

I dont know how it is over there on Cerberus, but over here on Adamantoise we have quite alot of Hrothgar players, and I see quite alot of them in Dungeons and Trials when I play the game.
If we do get more races, I hope they push for bringing in other popular races, I hope to See the Bangaa. Another Short option like the Ivalician Moogles. Update and give us the Lupin, just to name a few.
We dont need another conventionally attractive race. Literally, just if they can, they should just make more customization options for the Previous Humanoid Races.

As long as there is a fanbase for it, its not a waste of time. A small Community, is still a community worth catering to. And that community is still more money.
