Lol. People unsubscribing because they can't make their butts bigger or add a beard? Man...if that was the case wow would have been dead the moment is took off.

While I had to laugh at this so much, in the end.. you mention the difference. I think WoW is also so popular because of its different races (not human like) and their character creation.

Fundamentally, I don't think they trust us the players. Sliders for facial features and body structure would have been great way to avoid duplication too, but I assume they were worried about the aesthetic of the game.

I would have loved a butt slider in particular; however, it would have been too much power entrusted to too many people. I scarcely imagine the apocalyptic hellscape that would have resulted from such a decision. It is a pity, but we cannot have nice things.

Yea, I agree. It really is a waste not to extend our character creator. I mean, if SE is concerned about inappropiate esthetics, they can still limit it at a certain grade. Yet, they seem to refuse completely.

I'm not sure if it has changed recently, but each race in WoW never had that many variations. Period. It was easy to see soooo many people that looked just like you. Or very close to you, maybe just different hair or hair color. FFXIV has more options that WoW does (did?). I have no played many MMOS, but one had THE best character creation I'd ever seen. Sliders for almost everything, and the you could choose ANY color for almost anything. The only limits were skin tones. I don't know why SE didn't add the color thing that you can see in programs like MS Paint and Photoshop. I'm not sure what it's even called... The color picker thing. :P

Oh I see. Well then I guess Im wrong with it then. Dont think it changed. Rather just know that there are lots of races.
Hmm could it be that you mean Aion by chance? I played it a while.. Its creator is impressive but also disgusting. You see everywhere little bunny girls running around in halfnaked costumes.. or some gross figures. I definetly do not want FFXIV ending up like that.

I wasn't going to mention any names, but you got it right. I haven't played that game recently either. Open-World PvP in the later areas was a turn-off for me, despite that I enjoyed everything else in the game. And I've seen people in FFXIV running around in bikinis or their underthings. And with bunny ears. *giggles* The other day there was a male au ra in his skivvies in Quarrymill. So it can happen in any game. But I do get your point. Give people an inch and they take a mile. *shrugs*
