This. I like Roe, but the reasons they're rarely played, especially among RPers, are rather obvious. I wish I could make a lady Roe. There are so many gorgeous ones I've seen! However, it's an archetype I wouldn't be comfortable RPing, so I haven't made one. (Actually, I did have one in beta--I just didn't keep her around).
It's funny, I see a lot of people criticising female roegadyn for being rather curvy and thickly built and yet...a very large portion of the other race's females are being drawn and described in the exact same way. Though given how oversexualised most characters tend to be, I'm not surprised.
I criticize female Roegadyn for having no butts. At. All. None. Take all your Roegadame's clothes off and turn her sideways. See what I mean?
Honestly it doesn't really annoy me about people picking races for whatever [sexually] appealing reason they may have but it just secretly bothers me that in most cases it's the ONLY reason...I mean yeah yeah there's the [ridiculous] phrase "sex sells," but not everyone's like that...kinda makes me wonder what race people would pick if Miqo'te did not exist. I usually don't consider sex appeal or physical appearance when it comes to picking races, not as much so as their general personalities among their kind along with their history as well as what they're capable of. Maybe that's just me. =P
When I think of Roegadyn I think wild or tomboyish hair, with the exception of characters like the substitute Arcanist Guildmaster Thybergeim (I don't remember if that's how you spell her name >.<). In other words, if you're a mage or have a sophisticated persona about your char I think this hair works fine. =P
