    It probably would of been better to just added it as a Face Paint option.
    funny thing is according to one of the interviews I watched, the games engine isn't even holding it back. 1.0 spaghetti is a myth.

    so either adding more options to the character creator is very low priority (because of the new races) or its hard to get devs with good knowlege of ARR's engine (because its a SE custom built monstocity) to add new features

    1.0 was time and time again confirmed to be a nightmare to work with, though. It's not even the same engine as what they used for ARR.

    It doesn't need to be 1.0 spaghetti code to be a problem. 2.0 is its own separate bowl of hastily-assembled spaghetti and they just keep building on it as best they can.

    It could be worse.

    It could be Guild Wars 2.

    I've never seen or heard about any major technical problems with GW2. It always seemed like GW2's problems had to do with Anet's leadership. The vets who worked on GW1 left, so GW2 was made effectively by a new team. And the company didn't give GW2 the budget and manpower it deserved, instead insisting putting their money and manpower into the unannounced projects. The playerbase has asked for basic stuff like new cosmetics or features for years and the devs just couldn't be bothered. If Anet had their way they would have just released a single map and a 2 hour long mission once every 3-4 months and never released an expansion again. It wasn't until NCsoft shut down their other projects and forced them to make another expansion that we are now finally getting our third expansion.
