In regards to Carbuncle, it's because of blatantly obvious reasons. That's not a 'fix' it's a hack, and a poor one at that. The people who are complaining about how their Egi's look are a very vocal minority, and not an accurate representation of the playerbase. It doesn't matter how many pages a forum post goes on for, many comments were made by the same people, and many more don't even post here.

Same issue with Darkside. It's bad design to have a single skill which requires this toggle, and they've already toned it down quite a bit. Again, most people have moved on but there is a vocal number still complaining. You can't just put everything on hold because one guy at the back says 'Oi, my smallclothes are the wrong color'. They have a LOT of development work still in progress, and plan these things months and even years in advance so they can fit it all in.

tl;dr, stop whining. It'll happen eventually.
