I think that's a reference to the fact that there are a lot of miqo'te characters that aren't informed by (or hew entirely to, depending on who you ask) their racial culture; they're essentially being played as hyur who happen to look like miqo'te. Whether this is bad or incompatible with lore is a topic on which there's some debate.
That said, I wouldn't put it past some people to say their miqo'te is actually a hyur wearing cat ears and a tail...
The sad thing is that some of us made our characters before this lore was released. Holding that against people who play their Miqo'te that way is just as bad as yelling at people who play seeker males to lore.
I don't understand how someone could come to that conclusion, even without racial lore.
There are a lot of gaps in racial lore so assuming/making your own fanon seems to be necessary if you want to play a traditional member of your race but be able to expound on your character's history.
Not everyone plays to lore, but if you do, I think it is expected to go back and change notes about a character as new lore makes some assumptions/fanon obsolete. Otherwise, you are not playing to lore.
But some of us created characters in 1.0 and were playing them for a year before we knew anything about the tribal lifestyles of the Miqo'te. I've been playing Alothia since November of 1.0, and I sure as heck wasn't going to completely change her character at that point.
I did, however make a note in her backstory that her family didn't want to adhere to tribal law, and so they set out on their own, taking residence near a Hyuran village in the Shroud, hence why she was raised and acts the way she does.Â
Anywho. I apologize for getting everyone off topic. Please continue with your regularly scheduled complaining about the annoying and unnecessary locking of Balmung to new character creation.
