I won't lie - as much as the Au Ra initially intrigued me I've been left with a bitter taste in my mouth due to some people role-playing them before they've even in the actual game. We don't know much about them yet and despite that people will form 'fanon' lore that they'll likely cling to even when the race itself is fully revealed and more fleshed out.
Well, there's also the simple matter of you can choose who you RP with. If you don't like how someone is RPing, don't RP with them. I know it sounds like a flippant answer but... it's a thing you can do.
Find the Au Ra that fit the criteria you're looking for, I'm sure there'll be some out there come the expansion. Or just continue RPing with the folks you're already comfortable RPing with. This is all supposed to be for fun, after all, so there's no need to drive one's self into a tizzy by getting upset about how OTHER people have their fun (unless they're trolls </hypocrite.).
100% trufax, I'm tempted to use an Au Ra as the frame for a FFTA-style Judge character. Mostly because I think their horned heads would look best hidden under a full plate helmet. ... And we don't have any access to the stuff the Garleans are wearing that REALLY looks like Judge gear at times.
But yeah. Totally going to be have a character that might show up at the Grindstone and seek to apply arbitrary rules to the combat.
