Appearance change should have been in from launch and it should be FREE. We pay a substantial monthly subscription to play, I don't see why changing character appearance should cost extra because it needs no GM involvement whatsoever. Appearance change can be 100% automated via in-game features such as a barber shop and plastic surgeon. I have no problem with this costing in-game credits, but it should not cost RL money.

For those that whine on about it being "immersion breaking" and how people should play the hand they dealt themselves, I really don't see what business they have to dicate how other people play the game. If someone isn't happy with their character they should be able to change it. Period.

Besides, how exactly is it "immersion breaking"? People can change appearance IRL, even gender. Do you not think in a futuristic world it wouldn't be possible to have all manner of options for changing your appearance and identity, both legal and illegal?

That's not going to be soon or very soon; that will be later on. That's more of a feature for players who have been playing the game for a long time and have their level 50s. It's not high-priority. If a lot of players start demanding it, then we will put it in.
More character body options and in game character customization requests have been in the top 3 most requested features during the beta.

Don't be fooled guys. They perfectly knows most players want it. They are just buying time.

There is also the face trader quest in Coruscant... There is precedent for cosmetic surgery as well to change the look of our toons.

Someone said that WoW didn't add this into WotLK, which is correct, but in the grand scheme of things this is something that takes very few zots for a high pay off.

Hell, we have lore precedent (Luke getting his face mauled up in ESB).

In addition, this would distract me from some of the larger, more endemic issues for a least two weeks.

The fact that Bioware doesn't realize this is amazing. I am getting a DA2 feeling all over again, the devs are tell us what we want and don't want.
