    Meh. It's the same thing as Miqo'te having highlight-able tail tips locked to certain tail types. Or different (just black I think, but still) colored ears being locked to certain hairstyles. Both are infuriatingly pointless, neither has been changed since launch. :/

    It's a bit different then geometry stuck in the side of the head. They should be able to just be stuck in any head. What you mention is color variations which are based on textures that can't be seperated out as easily

    Pretty sure it could have been separated as easily as all the hairstyles, they could've designed them like that from the start: want it, it's there; don't want it, no need to bother with it. One of those things that should be universal across the board, so to say, but for some reason SE decided to just lock it.

    And I have a bet if they had to explain it, that reason would be "to save bandwidth" - ie. instead of having a number of combination for two or more different categories, there's only one number: a closed set of choices within one category.

    That is what I was thinking. I really hope this is just a limitation of the Benchmark.
