Arbitrarily claiming that the population sample isn't reliable because they "didn't feel this was enough of a problem to contribute" is a fallacy; just like 99% of the population didn't post on the forums to affirm that body shape is just right. Therefore, 138 likes and 20 pages of posts is a proportionally large amount of people who agree with the OP; alternatively, I don't see any counter thread to the OP post with nearly as many likes or posts (by the way, this is also a fallacy, but if you intend to use this type of flawed argument structure, then I will as well). I'm confused as to why you seem so against more character creation options anyway.

Besides, on the beta forums, the butt slider suggestion thread had thousands of likes and 60 (?) pages of posts. This was from a smaller population size as well, making the amount of likes proportionally larger. Now imagine, just for a second, that there was some other big event going on in the general discussion forums that might possibly detract from the attention of this thread. Can you think of any?
Well, why would someone create a thread when they are happy with the status quo?

And it was 700 likes which puts it behind a lot of other requests which should get dealt with first, no?

That big event is driving people to the forums, if this is how likes the thread gets with so many people flocking to the forums, surely that is a further example of how marginal the issue is.

The OP said he got 200 likes in 1 day on the beta forums, which you say had a lower population. Can we then also say that since he got just over a hundred in 4 days that support has dwindled for this topic also?
