So, why isn't this a thing yet?

I could see an age bar implemented in the future that changes characters overall look, be a great diversity addition to characters. Only problem with that would be the shear amount of design work involved, age is a dramatic appearence changer though it also depends on how many age gaps are implemented. I could see teenagers/young adults battleing. Hell, lots of jrpgs and games do that. Dunno about kids though...

Would be easier to add lower settings to the height slider and a more youthful face to the face line up. Job done.

I'm picturing a really short Roe with a Lalafell's face, it's like the opposite of WoW's Gnome.

I'm sure this has been posted, but Gigantoads are the answer.

Ahem, lalafells are prey to everything. Not one person (even children) are safe from monsters, whats your point?

You can clearly see a pattern in what he was saying if you paid attention. 1. "'no child race cause perverts' 2. "Better not have a gun class, cause you might attract those who want to shoot people." 3. "Can't have a mage class cause you'll attract arsonists."
quick fix = No child race cause you'll attract perverts. Simple and understandable.
People are taking things to the extreme with one idea, thinking of the worse possible scenario. Make sense now?

I think its funny people want to say no children for perverts but I can tell ya right now we have a lot already on the game. Honestly any type of person you can think of (cept maybe the amish lol) are on this game. Convicted felons, those pending, perverts/rapists/child molesters. Your not going to stop these type of people from playing these games and as I have said countless times already, if a person is acting childish and prancing around provocatively either report them or blacklist them. I can see some people wanting to play as child-like races just to be closer to the game, kids are most likely to pick child races as well cus after all whats better than being a child who is destined to save the world? Now should we see a 10yr old in skimpy swim suits? No, make it tasteful and let some gear be locked to race just like starter gear is. How do you handle the swimsuits? Just like some gear looks different depending on race, ding ding, we have our solution. Anything even close to risque alter the appearance to either add layers (like how they handled the outfits in Bravely Default for western release) or redesign them all together.

Remember how FFXI Ninja had a skill where they literally blew themselves up in hopes of damaging the enemy? Oh man. So many bad elements joined that game, it was nuts for awhile. All those rage DC's made you worry.

This thread is just.. Wow.

A passive stance on any of these things (except ninjas cause there awesome) should not be encouraged. That's what i took from the original post i replied to, as if he/she said "we can't do shit anyway about these issues, so what the heck lets just play as children anyway". The original post i replied to was a passive one and a pathetic one at that. Re-read the post one more time.

I wonder how roegadyn and highlander kids looks like o3o

Ah ok. I joined this thread around page 30 when I started commenting and responding to most of this stuff. I'm still confused in what you were trying to say exactly. So having a child race is bad because the person playing the race could be mentally ill or flat-out disgusting (idk what they consider Pedos)?
