We need to compromise as a player base

[KhujaRela]

It's my first time posting in forums (from yesterday) and I really don't understand why it's written the same over and over in different threads...

I believe people who is not conforming has the right to give feedback and ask/hope for an improvement. It's being asked, not imposed... In fact many people has stated the possibility to make it a toggle option, so the ones who really like the new features can keep them.

But some people seems to treat this complains as crazy or some kind of harassement, I really don't get why, we all here love the game the same; if we didn't we wouldn't stress as much about this update.

Also, I believe that people who actually likes the changes, is in their right to go and post it, in fact I've seen a lot of 'I love the new face!' and nobody went to these people and said them 'oh well you shouldn't'. But a lot of people went and say 'you don't like it? well I DO like it'. Come on, it's not even your character...

Also, if developers say there is nothing to be done, that's it, but for now we don't even know about it. I don't know how hard or easy would be to change this stuff. Please be respectful on people opinions and feedback; Dawntrail is definitely not going to be delayed for something like this, so I don't think it's necessary this confrontation over and over.

Who is to say that this is even remotely possible? I would imagine these changes are integral adaptions to the current system and, I admit, I struggle to see how a simple toggle would be a plausible option at all. Great if it is - those who hate the new look can opt-out of it and those who like it can keep it. But I don't think it's likely. I can't help but think that, again, people are setting unrealistic expectations which will end in disappointment.

As I stated, I simply do not know if it's possible or not. But since a lot of problems seem to come on specific features that are currently optional, I don't think is that much of a crazy thought? I mean:
-For eyelashes that changed shape and density (much more denser now): currently we have a toggle option on "face features" to choose if we want darker lashes/eyeshadows or not. So maybe an optional "more eyelashes/less eyelashes" to me sounds a plausible thing
-For eyebrows that has changed in density, there is as well a current option that allows you to have thinner or thicker eyebrows, both in the eyebrows section and in the face features section (at least in female wildwood elezen, as example)
-For lips, not talking about the shape of lips (that could be maybe an extra option nº instead of a direct change), but the texture and color, I believe that we could keep the old texture lips as the "nude" option, without lipstick. Since all seem to have a lipstick now regardless...

Definitely it's not something that would fix every single feature, but this tweaks may help to get the appearance of the older character easily, but again I don't know how easy or hard would be, it was just a thought I wanted to share...

I'm an artist and I have done real people portraits, so I can see how a face changes a lot with every little thing, maybe not the overall appearance from affar, but little changes on eyebrows, eye size, nose heigh, can make a difference on someone being recognizable or not, as well as the facial expression (like looking neutral, or angry, just changing a few millimeters the lip corner or the top of eyebrows) (sorry If I overexplained)
