I don't have any objection to the existence of a hide helmets feature, just the timing.
The hide helmets option might not be an especially high priority but it's unlikely to be much effort either.
It took several updates before the Black Cove's exit back to the beach was actually connected to the beach instead of the character creation room. For over a month now, Zixzax's homestead options are being offered to only one player and not two like he used to - and it's still broken. Those don't seem like it would take much effort to fix, and yet it took a pretty long time to do so.
Nice try, but I don't find that "not much effort required" argument convincing.
