I hope I haven't missed that in the sticky.
I'd like to suggest an idea concerning faces of our characters.
While the faces are mostly so young and beautiful, it is sometimes difficult do build a perfect climate for a character you want to create. For example, I'd see a perfect face for my monk like the one on the "Sympathetic Visage" skill icon, or someone might like to create a Ritualist character looking like an old hag
Another reason for this suggestion is that not only teenagers play the game, and I think that more matured players would like to have more matured faces for their characters.
I think that this goes also in line with somebody else's suggestion for the possibility to select body build, not only height.
Having these three elements available, i.e. body height, build and aged face, everybody could build a character that suits them (at least almost) perfectly also from the point of view of appearance.

Haha. I don't know... options are nice but I'd rather not see these haggard old geriatrics running around the wilderness like they can keep up with the younger heroes/adventurers.

sucks to be some of you if you cant make char look old. dont just focus on the faces that are available. with the hair style, hair color and faces it is very easy to make a char look aged.

You can make a somewhat old looking female ele face, but she's got the body of a 20 year old ele.

Gosh no!

After a while, my Fable guy always wears a helmet. Nooooooo...

Yes to initial choice. If you want to start with an old face, carry on.

And that's the only choice so far.
Why would someone object to a monk or a mesmer looking like Gandalf?
I think this would add some diversity and fun (if we consider the body) to the game.
On the orher hand I can feel the frustration of some PvP fans when their young and bold character gets mashed by an elderly and a little obesse warrior for example
Still, it's fun that counts, isn't it?

There is a difference between being old and wrinky and Emperor Palpatinish and somebody who... doesn't look 22. I mean, just a few more weathered late 30s to high 40s looking faces would be nice (warrior has a few that are close, though I think its more the fact that he's all scared/has an eyepatch then him actually looking older).

Just add an age bar on the left hand side (when making a new character) to increase or decrease your characters age (with a max and min level), in the same way as height. Problem solved!

And that could be a solution. Quite simple, I think.

On the other hand, ok, the body build idea was not mine. I just used it to show that there are people interested in such modifications. I may just as well give it up.

I will defend my idea of age indication, though.

augh!!!!!!

lol

but still this really is even worse then fat people in gw. I don't want to see old farts running around in a teen-30 year old's game. That would be scary, creepy, and by all means, disturbing. I prefer seeing younger skinnier players xD (sure beats a lot of the girls in real life xD)

You're absolutely wrong here. There are more 30+ players than you'd expect.

You can make a real old looking Paragon. I see a lot of them running around.
The white shaggy hair and bearded/weatherd face do the trick

But you are completely fine with middle-aged wammos dancing in front of pre-pub female monks right now?

thats different. Ok not really.

For the OP.

No. For those of us that are 30+ its nice being able to be young and good looking. And how many young people would trade their youthful look to be fat old and grey?

To Pumpkin Pie......that was funny as hell but.......damn.

I can see the addy for it "Try new Jenny Grawl! I lost 100 lbs!"

An age slider sounds like a great idea, I hope Anet add it for GW2.
