A Cosmeticist as a purchasable guild hall improvement would be nice, as it would
1) allow people to change their characters, and
2) be an incentive for people to join guilds.

Well, for my part my only real opposition to the idea is that, if you make every character parameter fluid, it sort of renders those initial decisions meaningless. Hair styling is obviously completely reasonable. One can make magical arguments for everything else, of course, but my leaning is to allow people the opportunity to change little details of their character but not totally remake them. Height and gender seem like the most radical changes possible, so those would be the options I'm least enthused by.

But like I said, it's not something I care that much about one way or the other.

You not, best bet is April fools day when they change the sex of your characters (if they even bother to do that considering they are so "busy with GW2.")

Why will it never happened?

I'm pretty sure Gaile has not point blanked refused us a hair/face changer, I think the last time it was mentioned that it was the third most requested item and may come to pass in the future.

So maybe we will get it around Christmas like we did last year with Reconnects and the Party LFG System.

Then PM a mod and request them to move it.

I don't think many people are opposed to it, perhaps a it's just not really that important to them, s'all.

Mentioned during Gaile's in-game meet&greet? I wonder if that is when player's requests make the most impact.

I dont get it ... what oh-so-danm-important about making players choices he made during minute 1 written in stone?

Over two and half year of game, it was enough time for players to:

* Get tired of character look and name. Seriously
* Have ones likes and dislikes changed.
* Mature enough to want more mature name or look for character.

Basically, people change, characters should change with them.

I think Anet is just too lazy to implement it. Course ya'll can say what you want but I'm sticking with that. I'd like to be able to change the look of some of my chars.

TexMod FTW.

Barbers? Meh. Not fussed personally, but if other folks want to get prissy with their hair then fine by me.
Plastic Surgeons? TexMod it. Seriously. If you hate your face so much then change the texture.

... Gender reassignment surgery?
Lawlz. A-Net already threw that one at us in April... After seeing Chae Soon dressed up in horribly lop-sided female 15k Kurzick and looking like an anorexic bull-dyke.... count me out.

I would love to be able to change my characters hair from time to time. A small fee maybe (3 plat or something), but nothing that will make you have to go farming /grinding.

Face and gender should not be changed, only hair styles and colour.

D: I would totally pay 100k for the sex change. My titleRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO main char is a MALE warrior. He's only had one set of armor his whole life because male armor is so crappy. If I could make him a her, my guild wouldn't hear me say, "T_T I wish I had made Zeek a girl."

That falls somewhere along the lines of player responsibility and LOL. People who pick a pathetic name are in the same boat, you can't change that either. Next time think things over if it matters so much to you.
