I agree the character creator could be improved. If the voice preview category were just the emote list that would be great. But I don't design video games and for all I know there's a technical reason why that isn't the case. Until the day that changes it's not difficult at all to accomplish the same thing by other means.

The average totally new player is probably level 10 or less within 24 hours. You also get a free fanta after ARR.

I see where you're coming from on the latter point but that would effectively be giving people a free fanta if they chose to abuse it by switching again at the last second. Yes you're buying the first one but not the second to change back into your original race or something else. You could make a justifiable argument that people should be able to do that anyway but that's money left on the table for SE and thus unlikely to ever happen.
