I think the Roe have a nice aesthetic to them, both sexes. And of course there is the allure of a massive character for melee types, or mages if you want to break type-casting. I can understand RPing a giant might not appeal to some, but I would think more then there are out there.
So, I'm just trying to wrap my mind around why. Roe can be fun to RP with. My tiny lil miqo looks like a child to most of them which makes it amusing to play the shy little cat. So why is it? Why no loving for the Roe?
I have no idea. Â I went Elezen instead of Roe for my main, but that was entirely based on my character needing to be slim and a little shady instead of a thug. Â However, even the Elezen are relatively rare. Â Almost everyone I see is a Hyur or a Miqo'te of some description, with a boom of Au Ra mixed in. Â Elezen seem to come in next in line, followed by Lalafels and Roegadyns. Â That's just my eye-check on Gilgamesh.
As to why, it must be a personal preference from our group. Â We didn't have this problem with Granok or Draken on Wildstar, really, at least not to this degree. Â It could be our playerbase identifies with younger looking characters, and Roegadyn all look like grown men and women compared to the more flighty Hyur and Miqo'te. Â It could be our audience tends towards Japanese sensibilities, and Roegadyn are definitely not kawaii.
I mean, I prefer the darker, older, larger look myself and I definitely think that the Roe women are the best looking in the game, but then again I only went with Roegadyn for my rarely played alt. Â I thought about switching to Roe with a Fantasia, but the look just didn't fit my RP style. Â So who am I to say?
I'd really rather there were less Miqo'te around, though. Â Orleans is getting a little sick of their ubiquity...
