I'm a new player. And when I say new, I mean I started tenatively playing when i started hearing the rumours about the Viera being implemented. So far, I'm liking the story and playstyle, but I wanted so badly to play a viera guy. when it was told that 'More informatin regarding viera would be announced later', I and many others took it and ran with it. Because there's no way a company would let the hype build up like that only to say 'nah', right?

Well. Look at that.

This decision is the opposite of the 'progressive' image this game seems to want to tout. Gender-locking a race is something I've passed over other MMO's for, and honestly, I feel like I'm going to drop this one pretty quick because I do not want to give my money to sexist companies. And, no, the 'BUt LORE!' excuse doesn't fly when, even at a low level, I see a lot of things that make me go '...what?' in this game.

Please, continue being progressive and introduce male viera and female hrothgar. Hell, focus on the male viera and scrap the hrothgar until they can be given proper beastial features and not a lion's head pasted on the Roe body!
Sorry to burst your bubble, pal, but SE isn't entitled to give you everything that you have in your personal wishlist. Yeah, it's lore reasons and probably an even bigger reason as a whole that Viera have NEVER EVER in the entire franchise had male counterparts shown or playable, what we'd get at most is CONCEPT ART. There's nothing ""sexist"" here because neither sex was put below or above the other. There's a male and a female, end of.
