The number of shortbows as compared to longbows in game is laughable. We have gotten a grand total of two shortbows since ARR—the Palaka shortbow and its reskin, the Ceremonial shortbow. The rest have ALL been longbows.

It's established in the very first archer class quest that longbows are the traditional choice of Wildwood archers, while shortbows were used by Keepers of the Moon. I understand that maybe longbows might be easier to design flashier weapons for, but I can't help but feel a lack of options for my traditional Keeper archers' weapon choice. Like, I know it's a non-issue, but it bothers me, okay, and sometimes I get desperate enough to post on the forums about issues that bother me and absolutely no one else.
