They mentioned that has something to do with the amount of slots (for lack of remembering the correct term) that can be used for creating a character. The slots are like Size, Bust Size, Face types etc. and do not include what goes into them, like the multiple hairstyles that they can keep adding to. This is why not every race can adjust their muscle tone, ear shape etc. because the slots are taken by something else, like tail length. To make the horns of Au Ra and markings of Miqo'te seperate from faces, they would need to add another slot or remove something else, which they can't/won't do.

Edit: The slots were referred to as Memory Allocation by Bayohne

As others have said, the Miqo'te markings are part of the race, plus their is one facial option without markings.

Taking this away would 1) take away one of Miqo'te's unique race trait, and 2) would be very hard to implement due to the usual PS3 limitations, character data limitations etc.

I'm all for more character customisation but you're not forced to have the markings. If they could remove them from face shape (like we'd like for the Au Ra horns) it would be nice, but highly unlikely.
