Chest pubes??? Really? Some contorted anatomical fantasies you have! Either that, or you need to run to a dictionary right away.

:-D

I dont see the big deal players are making over hair on the models. I have an idea it is about some insecurity that these players have with themselves. Furthuremore most if not all but a few will actually stop to look at the hair on ur avatar. It would serve no purpose to use the resources to add hairy avatars. More likely than not even for 2.0 the player models have already been completed, so in effect players want the devs to scrap all the hard work just to make it so players can look like a wooly mamoth. I dont diskie nor like it either way I think it would just be a waste of resources to add something that really has no purpose or function other than players wanting to have something that is basicly useless. Although I still go w the idea that it is an insecurity, that these players want this.

I see your point about the use of resources for useless content, however I have to disagree with your post.

Why do some guys shave and others let it grow in real life? Not because the hairy guys are insecure. While having a thin, shaved character model will not offend many women, it's worth noting that there are at least as many--if not more--men in America who would prefer to have a bit of bulk and let it grow. At the same time there are men (like myself) who do keep a thin, shaved body, and I like the models as they are. But given the stereotypes that come from being thin and shaved, I can understand why guys want hairier characters.

By your logic, any stylistic preference is a waste of resources, therefore all characters of all genders, races, etc. should be identically shaped with no distinguishing features, and no equipment should change any aspect of our character model (like video games where you get a new piece of gear but you still see the character's costume). That would save a lot of resources, too.
