Of course, this post is going to be VERY biased.
I love Hrothgar to death. I love it much more than I did my Miq'ote when I first started the game back in 2014. Now that I have this amazing looking race and have played him for quite some time I want to shed some light on the two major issues these races have.
First, the hair: It has been over a year since this expansion has been released and still have no quality of life updates regarding these two races. Hrothgar's hair is still stuck to the face we choose and is absolutely ridiculous why we are stuck with these hair types. You tell us not to mod our game because of Third party rules but y'all make it so hard to continue playing this race when we have had nothing to customize our Hrothgar's and is running into the issue where every single one of them looks exactly the same. At least allow us the opportunity to use the other hairstyles from different faces on other face types. What I really want though is to have our hair returned to us. i have spent time and gil to get these exclusive hairstyles and now they are useless because I can't wear them and so in order to use them I have to spend another $10 to change to a ARR/HW race to wear them.
Viera at least has some hairstyle they can wear that doesn't require them to fantasia and choose a different face, but the fact that the hairstyles previously bought with actual money are restricted too is ridiculous. At least give us a warning on hairstyles that "This hairstyle is unavailable for Hrothgar and Viera" before we waste our money. I see several posts of people who have bought the Shadowbringers Y'shtola hairstyle with the expectation they could put it on their Viera.
Next is the helmets/hats: The restrictions of hats and helmets is ridiculous. What I find weird is that you can't wear many of the helmets with the worry of like clipping or something yet you can squish Hrothgar's heads in the Diabolic Helm of Fending...

...but Hrothgar and Viera can't wear simple things like hats. Y'all can weirdly contort the shape of helmets to fit Miq'otes ears but can't make an opening to let Viera's ears roam freely or just let Hrothgar wear the helmets/hats.
I'm sure there are other things I have left out but I have made my major points already.
