Edit: autocorrect on the title, should obviously be Hroth/Viera
Slightly inflammatory title, I know, but it at least catches people's attention.
Can we draw attention to the fact that the devs have had 5 years (probably close to 6 or more if you consider dev time during Stormblood) to fix the issue with Hrothgar and Viera being compatible with most of the hats and hairstyles in the game? Not only that, but they had an additional iteration of each with their own unique models to decide on a fix, implement it, and make plans to retroactively add them to the others. Yet, knowing this issue exists, we've had gear for the past three expansions that do not work on Hrothgar and Viera. How are we 5 years into this situation and artifact gear, of all things, isn't at least prepared to fit them at the bare minimum? I know I'm kind of whining, but Yoshi-P spent thirty minutes at one of the fanfest keynotes talking about how they reworked Lalafell chins multiple times, of all things, to ensure an adequate product, while a quarter of player options have limited hats and hair (especially so for Hrothgar hairstyles where they're locked behind face shape).
We were told player and outfit models saw reworks - some from the ground up - for the graphics update, yet they seemingly chose not to take the time to address a missing feature for two races. If the devs are planning on making this game go for at least the next ten years, you'd have expected them to at least make mention of considering fixing this problem in particular. I know that "New hairstyles have been added for certain playable races" is easy, consistent patch notes filler, but come on...
