Wait, how do you know this? Is there another survey or something that I'm not aware of?

(Also something being less popular is a really poor reason to prefer something, just sayin')

He may be referring to this? http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/misc.php?page=census-2013

I was indeed and it wasn't that I was glad being a special snow flake but when I see threads with bile and hate towards those of us who chose to roll Miqo'te there is a little part of me that is glad not to be right at the very top. Â It doesn't actually bother me really and the post was meant as a little jokey but I guess it kinda a little flat. Â No worries, Hugs to my Sun Seeker brothers and sisters.

I think most of us love having as much appearance customization as possible to avoid looking like everyone else, na matter the race we pick, too.

I used to be like that and I stillÂ enjoy being a rarer sight, but it's just not a big deal for me anymore because in a mmorps, there will be tons of everything, anyway.
I'm speaking from personal experience. I used to try to choose the less-common looks in the past, but eventually I realized that I was hampering my own experience just for the sake of "being different", so now I just don't bother unless it's something I would have picked anyway.

Of course, if you would have chosen the less-common look anyway, then you're good, but I'd be very wary of looking over something you like just because lots of other people happen to like it as well. (What's that saying - "Great minds think alike"?)

Oh and I chose to roll this character long before I knew which way the community was leaning. Â That goes for choosing a Keeper of the Moon as well.
