I would really like it, as someone who does not PvE often, that if my character is logged out in Heart of the Mists, that the armor shown on char select screen is the gear I am currently wearing in the mists.

Im guessing this is something already in progress seeing as the character image has a different background already in the mists, compared to those who do not.

So sad seeing my character in gear uglier than they really are when im trying to show off how awesome they look to my bro.

Also the ability to hide the UI of the char screen so we can take screenshots with that lovely white backdrop. Maybe with a few poses thrown in for a cool desktop wallpaper

As someone who does not PvP often I can’t really comment on your first point other than it seems like a nice idea to always show your character as he/she last appeared in game whether that be in PvE or PvP (hey, log out in town clothes, see them on the screen … I like!).

As to the second, here’s a work-around for you. It won’t help with wallpaper or with seeing your feet but if you just want the character part and are using Win7, look for the “Snipping Tool.” A friend told me about it and I have it pinned to my task bar. It turns your whole monitor pale and lets you drag a cropping rectangle around whatever part you want. Snip, save, and you have an image. Great for showing chat moments or balancing out a screenshot that has your character offset or clutter at the edges. I’ve used it to get shots from the character select screen, usually by Snipping a screenshot rather than trying to snip at the right moment as the image moves. Come to think of it, I’m not sure the image does move while in Snip mode … I will have to test.
