Hrothgar: The hair is part of the head mesh. The head mesh is the problem. To fit helmet on the head means the hair will poke through. I think due to the hair sharing the mesh, they can't "zero" it out(hide it) like the hair for other races which are detached as that would mean the head gets hidden.

I'm having to remember how skinning and rigging works and stuff as I type this.

Also, they wish to avoid retroactive fitting(I might be wrong here because it's clear they use base templates for all the gear in this game, judging by how much the same models gets recycled), i.e. having to go and edit all the ARR gear and stuff.
But the thing is, i could understand not adjusting older gear. It’s the new gear that makes no sense to me. Why can’t they make the new gear work for them? Or hairstyles? It’s just really baffling to me it’s been an entire expansion with seemingly no improvements on that front.
