I think it is extremely necessary in an MMO to feel your character unique, and unfortunately nowadays we are all the same with different clothes, I think it is urgent to change that, we must provide the character with a greater customization, through a “barbershop” that allows us to change the height, muscle tone, weight, etc…
Just as there should be a clear difference between male and female characters, which is not the case.
All MMOS have these options and I think that for New Wold would be a key change to give users that unique component in the character, so a tank could look strong and heavy, and a mage or asessino agile and slim.
I think all current players would agree with this change. LET’S MAKE STRENGTH TO ACHIEVE IT
So this issue with this is purely around PvP. Having different sized hit boxes would either be a detriment or advantage.
As fun as this would be to add more customizable feel to characters, it would quickly be abused on the PvP side. Also would create way more work on the skin front to be able to make each skin work with the different character builds.
I do think they should allow us to have a barbershop and change how your character looks cosmetically, would be a great addition, though having the same hit box with the same character build is the way for me.
