It's true we all take liberties with lore and, you know, that's mostly fine with grey areas. When it comes to grey areas, when you have to use deductive logic to come to a conclusion, there is ALWAYS going to be some lore bending. There has to be, there's just not enough lore to go around. How much bending really depends on the person though, and they have every right to post in a thread that someone's concept may be TOO bendy for their liking. I personally believe that there could have been, albeit in small amounts, Miqo'te dragoons as Ishgard only closed their gates 20 years ago, but someone else may think that's a little too out there. Both of us would be allowed to state our opinions on the matter - it doesn't hurt the player at all to see both sides of the fence on that issue.
But there is also plenty of lore stating <thing> can't happen, too. Certain things in lore that just outright tell people "Nah, you can't do that." If someone comes up with a concept that is completely against lore, it's almost irresponsible not to tell them that just because someone's feelings may be hurt.
