can we please talk about character customization options?

Q20: Can you add a lot more hairstyles, facial hair, and other types of face paints?

A20: ...We previously added new face paint in the past, but we didn’t really receive much feedback as to whether they were good or bad, so we’ve been allocating our resources to adding hairstyles...

You didn't receive much feedback because we've been requesting new, generalized face-paints... but you gave us two halloween-specific face-paints instead...

A nice gesture, they're fun, but who is going to wear bats on their face YEAR ROUND? We didn't ask for face-paints we'll dust off once a year (albeit, some players may wear these face-paints for longer).

We want features that can enhance the RP experience or that would look cool, not children's carnival face-paint. We want better beard/stache options & more.

So because we didn't provide you feedback, you just up and decided to put your main effort's into hairstyles?

You really need to begin polling your player-base again.

Or at least, can we please at least sometimes have a dialogue about things? Sometimes you ask for our feedback? Sometimes ask us what we want?

I know I speak for many when I say: we want more than very few haircuts once in a while, more diversity at least, more character customization options in general...

Please reconsider your direction & understand we want you to do more than simply focus on hairstyles.

Also, please change your mind about removing glamour restrictions... it's COMPLETELY INEQUITABLE that tanks can wear all kinds of armor-types (robes) but mages can't wear virtually anything but cloth.

People have been asking for new beards for a while now too... please reconsider your focus.

I would like it if a freckles option was added to facial features instead of face paint~ Its a little silly that I can't have eye make up AND freckles.

Not to be fighty but if you consider tanks are physically strong it would allow them to wear all armor types where technically no other class could (so long as there was no magical requirement a tank may not meet). Tanks, the most fashionable class. It is a bit weird in ARR since it no longer has a favored class system like 1.0 (and they seem to have some inconsistencies for jobs) but ... I'd rather they stay strict than not. Also a tank could wear gear under a robe going back to the physical strength is really the determinate if we thought real life at least, while mages could not wear full platemail since they weren't as strong.

(Thats a very loose argument though, would have worked better if it was more like a D2 "Requires 55 Strength to equip").

But, I would not give a hoot if they added a toggle system. Glamor anything and everything, let me turn it off - you wont make me cry and turn into a big immersive baby.

I want hair that can go to my butt as a female.

I'd like me a beard, some more face paints, and maybe even body paint.

Maybe some dreads while we're at it.

No no, it's a fair thing to discuss.

Thing is: we're the same exact person despite switching Jobs.

So if I'm capably strong enough to be a tank, then I should be able to wear tank armor as a mage.

THIS RIGHT HERE! Please start asking us how WE want to look or what customizations WE would like to see and go from there. Blindly bringing out stuff is getting us no where.
Or if you really really must, make some cash shop hairstyles. I dont care if I have to pay a $1-3 dollar fee for a new hairstyle if it keeps them coming more frequently and gives me some new options! Make some free hairstyles, and some hairstyles that are cash shop only. Same thing goes for facial markings/features.

I know the folks who hate the cash shop would be against this idea, but its here to stay so lets make the best of it and get some more options going!

Can we also have the option to test voices fully before accepting it? Too many times I heard a voice that sounded good but when I went in game there will be one animation or emote voice that will ruin it entirely, be it a loud pitched scream or wail during an attack animation.
