SE did not reduce the models for aesthetic reasons. They changed the models to what we have now to ease the process of remaking all the leg gear from 1.0 for the new system in 2.0 because they were on a tight schedule. They standardized the lower body for all races. We aren't trying to make our opinion the standard, we are urging the devs to rebuild the models to what they were originally, before 2.0, now that the game is up and running. The proportions now aren't right for humans or miqo'te, even by SE's aesthetic standard. It's a Band-Aid for a different problem.

tldr: The models we have now are not in line with miqo'te's actual concept, it's a reduced model to make the conversion of gear to 2.0 faster across all races.
