I have to admit, I never though dwarf women could get any uglier. That pic proves me wrong.

Seriously, blizz should be all over this one. If they allowed ppl to do this, it would be sweet, perhaps in an upcoming (and still rumored) expansion pack? It would at least inspire a bit more good will toward them from players, I think.

This is one of my biggest beefs with WoW. I hate looking basically like every other member of my race out there. City of Heroes spoiled me big time.

I know rasza for a fact, and it's a he.

The first time I rolled, I spent some time choosing my appearance carefully, played up to 17 or so, then was inspired by a few members of our tiny (now defunct) guild to try a hunter, since they were all having so much fun on them.
I rolled a Tauren Hunter - expecting it to be a diversion and keep my Troll Rogue as my main, I randomed his appearance completely - and ended up sticking with him (today the hunter is my 70 main & the rogue is still only 18.)
Later, when I rolled my druid, I played (as I do with all toons now) with different looks to get what I wanted and was surprised I hadn't chosen certain things for my hunter, until I remembered he was random.
I regret this, as I wish my hunter had more of my own choices and personality built in, but I think this business of wanting to change looks is silliness, especially since most people who would do it would tend toward drastic changes.
Even if you're not happy with what you have (either because it was random or because you've had second thoughts on things), stick with what you've got & who cares?
...unless you're one of the orcs with the beard that grows through certain helmets xD

I think tatoos would be interesting, I'm all for more customization. Although I've never really felt the need to change my current characters, I think worrying about their looks is silly, I would not be against having a choice to do so, I think it'd be fun, but a profession devoted to it is stupid. Maybe having a hairdresser in town or something or a tatoo and piercings parlor. :)

Another suggestion is some kind of improve for tailoring, it would be nice if tailors could change the colors of himself or others gear, so that T4 head piece would have the same skin with some different colors.

Draw the line at hairstyle and tattoo/skin marking. I figure anything more than this (Because it's all you can change about your look in RL) makes your character a meaningless avatar, with no real connection to you.

It's so mind numbingly simple to add a NPC that can rearrange your appearance for a fee. Don't even have to bother with extras for step one, just plonk down a NPC with the ability to fiddle with the stuff we could at character creation (not race/gender though, race especially is a stupid idea).

The only reason I can think of that Blizz don't have this in the game already is the same reason we used to only have one action bar, Blizzard are clueless as to what their customers want.

They should totally add a cosmetic surgery feature to WoW...and like real cosmetic surgery there should be a chance of complications like scarring, infection, other complications and even death.

@7 - Great idea. Any armor/item crafter should have the ability to choose the color. Blizz already has dye in place. This way, even though I can't get a full armor set, I can at least make it look like I do.
Red boots, green pants, purple chest, white gloves, green shoulders, blue helm = Bozo the Clown

This would be a very useful feature. Additionally, if Blizzard ever decided to change some of the faces (Troll female perhaps), and you were stuck with one you didn't want, this could make your day.

The only thing is that 95% of a 'toon's body is covered by armor, so this might have limited use.

That said, this will be great for the naked-night-elf dancers!

I've been all over this one since the beginning too... I've compared some improvements needed to a few other MMOs:

Guild Wars - Dyes... Could change the appearance of armor (I think we need this far far far far more than changing a character's appearance)
SWG - Image Designers... Could alter the way any characer looked within the guidelines of the game... I'm not asking for additional tattoos, etc just something that will make my Female Tauren Druid less ugly... She looks good from the back I guess...

The goal is to add a little unique variety to the game, so that every T4 Female Tauren Druid doesn't look the same, etc...

I honestly refuse to EVER roll a Dwarf, Orc, or Troll Female based upon the character creation selections we are given...

What I think that would make this even more appealing would be if there were hairstyles,etc. that were only avaible in the "beauty parlor"...we would then be given more of a selection. I don't know if I'd go the full plastic surgery bit but being able to have addtional sets of hairstyles, tattoos, piercings, etc would be a really great addition.

I wish this was a feature. I wouldn't care if it had a 2 week cooldown and cost 100g a pop. When I created my main (in the VERY beginning of WoW) I chose a long beard because it looks badass.

Little did I realize at the time, the long badass looking beard covers up anything on my chest. It covers the tabard, the shirt, the armor, etc. And it annoys the hell out of me. Part of having a cool tabard is being able to show it off, and I can't do it.

Please Blizzard?

Dwarf females are by far the ugliest women in the game. Even the matronly tauren women or the decaying Undead have more sex appeal that those Pippie Longstocking trolls.

So I've played a couple MMO's in my time, Galaxies was my first, and I LOVED all the character customizations. Next I went on to City of Heroes, from there: FF XI... then found my way to WoW. Out of those, FFXI has the least options, but what I would like to see done with WoW is Height adjustment. I would love to be able to make my Troll a little taller, maybe a little skinnier. I agree with the whole time separation, maybe once every 20 lvls or something would work. anyways, scars and tats would be pretty sweet too!

I agree that installing NPC Hair Salons, Tattoo Parlors and Peircing Boutiques would be very cool.

My main really could use a new hair style and a shave!

I've been pushing this on the forums ever since I started playing. I'm tired of my orc and his purple twin beard "tails"

I just started a hunter, not thinking I'd go very far... but it turns out I loved him and he is now my main.

Though the biggest thing I want is a skin color change. I don't like my turquoise skin... I want the dark brown/green skin
