Eventual Appearance change option?
Hello, I read the Anet response to the questions about race change and name change, both were a negative
Agh! No! Where was this posted? My norn is level 28 now, I don’t wanna remake him just to fix his name! Sadnessface forever!
here is the link to the name change question –

im more worried about my hair color!!
There is a reason fro both of those negatives.
1. race change because if you want to try a new prof just start a new toon (or buy more slots wink wink)
2. Since names are world wide (not server wide) you can build a rep good or bad and it stays with you.
Now Appearance change, this will happen, Devs have hinted at something that will be worked on (on other similar threads) and we had it in GW1 (even sex change)
I can understand no to race change, but appearance/name change can’t be much of an issue. It’s likely the most requested feature.
We should at least be able to change our hair for.. free..
Imagine they had something ridiculous like $15 to change your character’s hair. When in real life you can get a hair cut for $10.
Real life>Virtual.
race change and name change are understandable. Race change because: personal choices(the ones where you make your character) are tied to race, thus they are tied to personal story. It would be incredibly hard to change these without many bugs are screw ups. Name change: because they want to build up a good server community. If someone can be a kitten, then escape his kittenism by changing his name, it kind of falls apart.
Though, if Anet don’t put in an appearance change feature into the gem store, they will seriously miss a trick there. I already want to change my rangers appearance, I’ve made his head way to small and i want a different body type >_>
I’d pay real $$ to change my in game hair. My daughter created my character and I’m not too thrilled w/ the hair choice. There is a green head band that is clashing w/ the rest of my fasion choices.
ps. is this post going to get deleted too?

Why would you pay? Do you really think charging for changing a basic hair pixel warrants Arenanet the right to charge you money for it?
Changing hair style is as basic as it gets, and Guild Wars 2 is a aesthetic based. Out of good will should they at least allow us to change our hair style for free instead of bleeding our wallets dry. Especially under the circumstance the players is exposed to.. mass botting, bugged dynamic events and more bugs.
I’ve seen enough though from corporate greed.. hence I mastered the character creation.
I don’t want to change my whole name just my surname. Synsuous The Savage was something I created after a few minutes thought and after RPing her for a while, Synsuous The Silly would be much more appropriate.
I don’t know which shocks me more, the fact that they said, ‘No’ or the fact that they actually responded to anything.

Well I was fishing for an Anet response since they were very nice to reply to the other two requests, but so far no luck.
It would give me some relief and less stress if I knew for sure that an option to change appearance will eventually happen. For now, the more I level up, the more I worry that I might end up getting stuck with my current appearance and have to start the character over.
Im already tempted to delete my lvl 15 Sylvan because I didnt realize the glow happens at nigth and now have this off color orange glow. Maybe its best to just delete now before going any further.
I of course would prefer a barber shop type thing you pay with game money, but I know this game has a cash shop, so I wont be suprised if it will end up costing gems.
The only way I would pay for cosmetics is if they allowed me to transmute from any type of gear as long as it is the same slot, for example light cloth heard item looks onto a medium head item basically a new transmute stone capable of transmuting cross gear types.
+1 for Name changes and Appearance changes.
-1 on the Race Changer. (Wouldn’t exactly work out with your story line)
