Guild Wars 2

Okay, I’ll keep this brief, because we all know this is a subject that has been done to death and beyond.

We need different hairstyles. And by that, I don’t just mean more. ArenaNet artists, lets get real here. We all know symmetry is boring. This is, like, lesson one in art school besides “variety is important” and “make patterns,” also “blue and red make purple.”

So why are almost all the hairstyles in the game symmetrical or approximately symmetrical? Shoot, for human males we’ve got at least five variations on “short brushed up hair.” It’s mind-numbingly boring and homogenizing.

Please, we all know you’re going to release new character appearance options (and frankly if you’re not planning on this then shame on you). When you decide to give us more ‘dos and such, have at least a few of them be flipped to one side or whatever. And please, not in a stupid my-barber’s-hand-slipped-and-now-I’ve-got-a-weird-bald-spot kind of way.

Also, personal gripe: can human males please get a normal mohawk? You know, without the lightning bolt? I love the lightning bolt, works great on an elementalist, but why exactly can’t we be without it?
