Could it be that Miqo'te, Lalafell, and Roegadyn just don't age much when it comes to appearance? Right now there's more evidence in game that they don't change much at all. Asserting that those portrayals are invalid due to your feelings about limitations is a supposition at best.
No, that's backwards. It's not feelings to say that your evidence is not actually evidence: it's an assertion. She provided a claim, warrant, grounds. Asserting that portrayals aren't invalid because of game mechanics is, imho, supposition as best. Sort of like back in TERA when certain people assumed that the world had no day or night because day/night cycles weren't programmed into game. We should assume races do get old except where informed otherwise, as is the case with Padjal and Lalafel. The fact that character creation is intensely restrictive is perfectly valid support for this.
I like the idea of Roegadyn as long-lived and do recall the Pugilist quest-line. I think that was a good bit of evidence there, as the age disparity between Hamon and his rival was a plot-point. It was not stated that Roes were longer lived, but Hamon had aged, and his enemy was still at full strength. It's possible that Hamon was just a gret deal older than his rival when they last fought, though, so in the end it's just a theory I like. not one I can really support.

Unless she's a crone, bad guy, or there for comedy exclusively.
