It seems to me like there is an underlying issue about ethics or other strange personal views that is going over my head culturally. A reroll is a reroll. The point is, everything we based our starting decisions off of is changing because the game itself is fundamentally changing, so if the game is changing that drastically then people should be able to change their characters as well.
this is exactly my opinion.

How feeble minded are you if you find it gamebreakingly "shocking" if your buddy decided to change from female lalafel to male miqote.
Again, the game is fundamentally changing so why not our characters?
