Overall, I highly respect the development team and understand these things take time. I also know that it might be hard to create hairstyles for Hrothgar. Still, it is hard to ignore that the team has had years to address the situation, and what was received is a flawed product that nobody seems to have wanted. Honestly, it doesn't look like much effort went into the hairstyles Hrothgar are getting, and I don't understand why it took so long to add them if the developers were going to remove the ears from the character model to make them work anyway. Add to this concern the fact that previous mentions of Hrothgar getting hairstyles (such as the bullet points during previous live letters) barely got a comment, and the laughing that occurred during the reveal of the new hair, and it just feels like the developers do not see addressing this issue as a priority.

This whole situation is unfortunate. The developers put so much time and care into certain parts of the game that it is hard to believe that there are two playable races (Viera and Hrothgar) that do not receive as much consideration as other in-game races. It would be nice to see a more significant emphasis on these races so that they can start wearing headgear and having more suitable hairstyles moving forward. Additionally, while I cannot speak for everyone, I would be happier with having fewer race-exclusive hairstyles that fit Hrothgar than many hairstyles that do not look right and remove the ears.
to be fair i remember a lot of "we want more hair!" but not actually really specifying which ones. the ones they gave (2b, 9s, snow/lightning, controlled chaos, the ponytail and the one emmanelain uses) are probably the most popular
