You know, what we need for this topic is a leader. Someone who will make a thread with a respectable title, will update the op, and who is reasonably well informed in general about how the development processes work regarding character models and gear. Someone who will present the argument in such a way as to give the community team reason to continue bringing this issue to the devs.

A big problem we have now is that the topic sounds immature at first glance, so people get on their high-horse and attempt to derail the discussion with the usual "go play x" or "go watch y". The only way this has a shot is if we are taken seriously, and yet we must keep it positive despite those who would get in our way.
