This suggestion has most likely already been put fourth. I’m in favor of forum avatars. What are the technical obstacles or reasons behind us not having them?
Probably so Anet won’t have yet another thing to have to babysit because people would use all sorts of inappropriate images.
They can’t even get the search function to work. That would be a better place to start before avatars IMO.
