Do the Japanese forums complain about the Viera/Hrothgar hat situation?

[VerdeLuck]

It's still happening because it wasn't just a decision to not modify old gear, but seems to have affected how they've programmed the hairstyles.

New hats can work for Viera/Hrothgar if they fully conceal the hair or don't affect it, but not if they only hide the upper half of the hair – which naturally is the majority of hats.

And with that being the case, they can make headgear that hide the hair or show all of the hair. They can work within those parameters instead of making 2 races unable to wear artifact gear and raid reward gear. Nothing says new hats have to hide part of the hair but not all of it other than the art department's stubborn decision to keep making hats that don't work with viera.
