With all of that said, we are not turning away any requests for elements you all would like, so by all means please send us your feedback.
Excuse my cynicism but isn't that the default SE response for everything, akin to the old "due to PS2 limitations..." then suddenly in 1-2 years time it will be inexplicably possible.
Will the ammount of character creation options that the game can handle without causing an unacceptable increase in network traffic be tested in beta if it is the issue here?
The sooner the customer can evaluate what they will be paying for the better for all concerned.
