Where is the fat ?
This is actually a good suggestion. I’ll support this.
Example: Not every wizard is a ripped body-builder. Though after covering up with robes, who’d know the difference?
Anyways, I think there should be more varieties in weight. I know the norn have a fat body type (at least the males do).
@Kalavier: Where is this NPC please ?
That’s Andrew, the barkeep/owner of the Tavern in the Salma District (The home instance for humans) Spawns no matter the character background IIRC.
Having a bit more fat is realistic. As you say, they don’t need to be obese, but there are a lot more body types than just skinny and muscular.

Actually, it is more realistic for adventurers to be skinny and build than fat, since they are either traveling and solving problems and they don’t usually have enough money to spurge on food.
This is an mmo forum, if someone isn’t whining chances are the game is dead.

^ has a point. Even spellcasters would be at least fit (maybe not muscular, but fit and lean) due to traveling on foot everywhere (unless they had a horse or mount which is possible.. but even then would get it from other factors), carrying their own supplies, hiking, climbing, fighting…
A ‘fat’ adventurer is one who rarely travels.
As others have pointed out, Tyrians are travellers, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense for them to be fat.
Also NONE of the models are near anorexic. They are thin, but not anorexic. No game should ever allow players to create anorexic or obese characters, neither is a healthy image to promote.

Makes an amount of sense, most people have to walk to get anywhere. While there seem to be Yak and Oxen Kryta has no horses, camels or donkeys, from what I have seen. While Asura gates and points allow for regional transport most seem to make due with the mark 1 foot.

Horses exist in GW. When Saul Dlassio(founder of white mantle) was exiled, they rode him out from kryta and dumped him.
In GW2 Kryta we also see stables, and various wagons which are more suited for horses then Ox. Also some npcs mention “ponies” when talking about Centaurs. And the jousting carnival es we see a Skritt studying.

IIRC, Anet explicitly said once Horses exist in GW, the main reason we don’t see them ingame is because people would constantly cry out to have them as mounts.
Also, the waypoints and gates are expensive. Waypoints likely can’t transport any cargo or large items, as we see caravans EVERYWHERE. Or they get really kitten expensive. Gates ewe know have fes, especially if you are trying to move cargo. Being free is game mechanic only.

I support this thread.
Warrior master race here, but seriously, Elementalists could be chubb over, you know, no physical exertion. Maybe Engineers…

Only they hike just as much as your warrior. They climb, jump, and swim just as much as your warrior. They carry their own packs, and use their weapons with skill. Yeah, they COULD be… but really it would make more sense for them to be fit.
It’s like dragon age origins, where they mention the mages had physical training/exercise as part of their schedule(at least until one guy used it constantly to escape).
Natural selection, guys.
The ones that can outrun a centaur survive. The others… well, not.

Except that the ability to heal magically should sort of function like modern medicine in that it means Tyrians would be keeping weak people alive (who would not have otherwise survived allowing stronger people to continue breeding more stronger people – natural selection), who would then go on to breed and create more weak people.
Yay for modern medicine/magical healing!
