That's exactly something I pointed out though? You are equating MMO avatar screenshots to real life pictures. They are obviously not the same thing.

IRL isn't a game, you aren't born into a character creator and get to pick and choose how you will look over your lifetime. In MMO character creators you get to pick what YOU like...so of course people are going to like their own characters? Most people design what appeals to them. It isn't narcissism because it isn't what you truly look like in real life and it shocks me people are taking this so seriously.

I just don't see the need to come in here and start flinging insults over it since as I said the OP never said you can't and also their picture was even their own character apparently. A MMO avatar is not yourself so how can you be full of yourself or vain about something that isn't even you? You can't just fling those labels on everyone assuming that is how they feel about these pixels.
