    A: Not currently. In addition to this being a burden to the graphics team, we also want to reduce the stress on the server. You guys really want the butt slider? Because your gear will get bigger and the textures will stretch out. It’s a bit too difficult to get right, but it seems like, for some reason, this is something that people want…"

    The butts don't need to get so big they're stretching our gear lol. Just an option for a normal rear would be awesome. Like this:
