Honestly, I can't say for certain whether I'd enjoy the lack of gear either. Part of me wants to be as fair and complete as possible, in a "go all in or don't even bother" way. But there is no denying that they actually landed on a really solid design with that race. And WoW's character creation menu is nowhere near as detailed as FF14's. Which just makes the way they're treating Hrothgar sting even harder. I get that Square needs to work harder for a race than Blizzard does, and that alone is a detriment. But when all they've done was just plaster leonine features into Roegadyn and be rather lazy in dealing with the 3D models from then on, it feels like a waste.

They don't want to take risks and want to play it safe. Yet they're Square bloody Enix. They already simplified as much as they could on this race, how far more do they want to take it? Just make Miqo'te Roegadyn at this point and call it a day if we're such a bother. GW2 cared to make the Charr unique, Blizzard actually made Worgen look interesting and now this race look well-designed. And then you have Square Enix, the guys who can make photorealistic 3D movies and cutting-edge graphics for videogames whimper at the thought of low-poly leonine races.
This profile picture is of my first character, now it's just an alt. I use it instead of my main to not get in trouble. (my main is a Hrothgar since they had been added in Shadowbringers, I didn't know how fantasia worked so I made a brand new character when they were added)
