Guild Wars 2

Hi all, hopefully I can get some kind of answer here.

Are there any plans (ideally soon) to allow players to change their in-game appearance and even gender, perhaps even paying gems to do so? This was possible in Guild Wars 1.

As a Mesmer I’m dissatisfied with the state of the male armours – to be honest I think the female ones look far, far better and appear to have had much more time spent on their design – so I want to switch to a female avatar.

I really hope this is coming, and it’ll be days, not weeks or months. I would readily pay a small amount to do it right now.

It probably will happen, but not for a good while yet. They have other important game features to focus on right now.

I suppose that’s true, but I would argue making the male armours for scholars look as good at low levels was a pretty important feature too, and that doesn’t seem to have happened. I’m really disappointed with the Mesmer armour I’ve seen; GW1’s was all regency-esque formal clothing. It was very understated and stylish. GW2’s is comparatively poor; I’m convinced it’s because they haven’t made unique armour art for all the scholar classes, which bluntly I believe is a mistake.
