Just because at the last minute, or because of the advent of the new races/genders, you want to change I mean...that would just feel degrading to my character. I can understand if you're unhappy with your character's race and you want to change it, by all means go for it, but if you've been at the same character for a number of years -if you've been around that long- it would just be confusing if you all of a sudden changed race.

I can't speak for other people but for me... this isn't true? When I designed Bea, I didn't have any idea what race she'd be picked as. I went with a miq'ote not because it happened to fit the character itself the most, but just because everything else was kind of boring to me. Needless to say, Bea doesn't actually display any characteristics of a “traditional” miq'ote, but just a regular person who grew up with constant contact with different nationalities.

If the female Roegadyn were an option in 1.0 I would have chosen them right away, but it wasn't, so I didn't. I'm not entirely sure why there seems to be so many negative connotations regarding swapping out an avatar to one that is more to your liking for you as the player and the character.

Also, I don't think it was really be that confusing if someone decided to change race? I mean, You can imagine what would have happened to your character if the world they lived it was completely destroyed by a giant dragon, but it's inconceivable to just pretend that a race swap was what a character was from the get go?

Except, in my instance, (and I'm assuming anyone else who does this) the core of the character remains in tact? I mean, the things that I'm changing are so minimal that you'd probably never even notice them when involved in any typical interactions. ...So, it makes no sense why I would make a new character.

Yeah, I really don't see what the big deal is, here.
