Attempting to give the heated conversation from the Au Ra thread a proper home, since the derail is more about what the character creator offers / doesn't offer.
I'll start with a rebuttal to a point not made here: Since the original alpha/beta of 1.0, XIV's character options have not changed at all since 2010. There aren't sliders, there probably won't be sliders. That would require redoing all of the existing models, and since SE's shown that there's a large discrepancy in who's playing what in what numbers, I doubt that amount of effort will be put forward any time soon.
Complaining that the game doesn't have features that other, less successful games do seems like a fool point to me. WoW's character creator is as bare-bones as they come, for example. Do people want more? Yes. Is it a high priority? No. Did they lose subs because of it? Maybe, but what's a couple thousand to several million?
