I, for one, am very pleased with what we got. Perhaps my only gripe would be the height of female Au Ra but overall I'm happy.
One thing that I think it's important to remember, is that this is not a game designed with just RPers in mind. Sure, we get a lot of love in the form of emotes and interactivity with our environment and housing and so on and so forth, but this is a game designed for several different play styles and SE must allocate resources and dev time accordingly. By and large (with a few exceptions), RPers are the only ones who care about a superbly robust creation system. What we have been given is better than some MMOs, pales in comparison to others, and, in my opinion, is fairly balanced between giving us RPers some options while simultaneously not bogging down non-RPers in an overly complex creation system.Â
Likewise, the Au Ra strike a good balance between filling a niche (dragon people, yay!) and still catering to the type of people who will glamour their WAR to wear the Coliseum loincloth (scantily clad catgirls, yay!), who are, we must remember, people who have just as much right to be catered to as we do. They also pay 15 bucks a month. They also buy stuff from the Mog Station. We are not better than them because we play the game "right". SE must cater to a wide range.Â
We are but a piece of the pie and they give us what attention they can.
