Very much this. To tie back to the Au Ra, I'm not going to even consider concepts for one until I know some lore about them. If I'm asked, "Hey, Freelance, what do you think about my Au Ra concept?" (as if anyone ever asks me for advice ) I'm going to give my honest opinion, including, "I don't think you should come up with one until you know more of the lore, because the risk of being clobbered by lore is too high." However, I'm not going to tell people writing an Au Ra before the expansion drops is flat-out wrong. I will advise against it if asked, though.
All you need to make your RP work is not go too far off the lore and the realms of sanity and have narrative justification for things that are weird. That's all. I think miqo'te players -- at least the ones represented here -- are doing that, and we should be supportive of the efforts. I feel bad that anyone isn't getting the RP they want, but conversely, everyone has constraints on what they can do. I'd like to play a more tribal miqo'te, and in fact I even have one created, but I simply don't have the time to do that, and RP my current character, and be an officer in an FC, and run the RPC forum, and do content, and live my real life. I've only got so many hours in the day to spend on fun stuff.

Also, I'm changing the subject line 'cause it's giving the forum software fits on replies.
EDIT: Oh. Looks like I've been beaten to it.
