Sorry I found this video, and I totally thought of this thread:

I think overall, it still comes down to personal preferences. Some people believe in evolution. Others don't. Some people think miqo'te are one thing. Others believe another. Again, it comes down to personal preferences. Debates are good, but when they go around in circles, with one side trying to convince the other side they are wrong, and the other side is doing the same, it doesn't end well.
That's why I think everyone should agree to respect each other's play styles, and worry about how they themselves RP their miqo'te, and less on how others roleplay their miqo'te. Me, I try my best to stay within lore, as I am sure we all do. And I am sure everyone has their own different interpretation on the lore.
My own interpretation is that the miqo'te are based on cats. To what degree, is completely up to me. And I tend to use in game to figure out my own acceptable limits. I look at the U tribe for example, and I definitely see a lot of lion pride basis. And it fits with the lore supplied as well. The game also supports those who want a more human feel, as we seen with the arcanist questlines, though we also saw in the same questlines, some feline tendancies as well.
So when it comes to debates, probably the best tactic in them, is to just put out your opinion and if someone offers an opinion you disagree with, respect that it is their opinion, unless they want clarifications or whatever. That's the stance I tend to take.
Also, definitely surprising that we will see mention of inter-species breeding later down the road. I wonder if we will be seeing an actual cross-bred character in some form? That could be interesting, though be kinda odd if they take like a Roegadyn and give him/her Miqo'te features XD. Or even something half miqo, half lala. Though thinking about that... that would be like too damn cute!!!
