I'm willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that SE's going to be closely monitoring the metrics on Au Ra, as well as everything else come 3.0.
Are people rolling the new race? Are they fantasia'ing? From what race? Mains? Alts? Are people doing Alexander? Are they blah blah blahing? What's the most popular blah blah blah? They've done a good job compiling census date in the past, it seems waving them off and assuming they won't look into things is a bit presumptuous.
If no one plays Au Ra, they'll likely look into why. If there's a lot of folks changing from the races that seem similar (elezen, hyur, miqo) they'll likely consider the new race a success. If there's not a lot of people playing Roes post-3.0, can't SE then consider that "less human" looking races aren't popular?
On a scale of 1-10, let's say that Hyur are 1 on the beastial scale and Roe are 7. If you make a new race and everyone flocks to the female Au Ra, who is rated 2.5 on the scale, why would anyone think "You know, the next race should be a hard 10." Elezen-with-tusks probably floats with Roe around 7, and if male Au Ra suddenly become the bee's knees, you can probably guess SE will also consider that a success. "Well, they liked this, maybe they just don't like Roe."
It just sounds like gloom and doom to go "SE is out of touch and will never understand without me telling them why this is bad," and when this insight is coming from the guy who doesn't like anything, you should reassess.
I hate it when people say it, but if you don't like it, don't buy it. Then send SE a letter why your fifteen bucks plus forty bucks is more meaningful than the fifteen bucks times plus forty bucks times thousands of happy customers. They're a game company, sure, but they're still a company. Happy consumers consume. Unhappy ones weren't going to buy anyway, so why waste the effort?
Now, before my personal feelings on the Au Ra get supplied for me, I'll remind everyone I'm extremely meh on them and have no intention of rolling one. I don't care. Literally couldn't care less about how they look/act/are. Curious, sure. But I don't care.
