Yesterday I made my 11th account (all paid for with cash, you're welcome CCP) and today started up the character creator to make another mining alt. I thought to myself "hey, I don't have any characters that look like me. That would be a cool thing to do", so I get to work sculpting an "Space-Avatar" that bears a resemblance to my person; almost immediately I find that this is downright impossible.
There are a few hairstyles depicting various stages of male-pattern baldness, but none with the spotty growth and combover that convey the same lack of confidence and grace in aging that I carry with me. I put the "scarring" slider up to 3, but found that it did not come anywhere near the level of acne scarring resulting from decades of junk food and regular sodas that is so endemic in the MMO population. Then, the most egregious violation: I put the "Muscularity" slider at 0% and the "Weight" slider at 100%, and found that this only turns my character from Roided-up Bodybuilder to Professional Swimmer; making a "Space-Character" with anything resembling my rubenesque-physique is downright impossible. |

I believe that a beergut slider needs to be implemented as welll as an acne slider and a neckbeard one too.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I've seen plenty of ugly avatars. Horrendous ones, in fact. If anything, the creator enforces unrealistic ugly standards. |

As a Gallente, I was shocked to read that there are no ugly Caldari. 
I agree that a wider range of character models would be nice to have. Goofy looking characters are the best characters. |

Yes, because 23,000 years in the future all of the immortal, egomaniac capsuleers will still want to be ugly even with the technology at their disposal

Considering your clone can be reshaped within the base racial specifications at will, no capsuleer would be cursed with being ugly unless they chose to be that way. Perhaps a capsuleer might choose to be ugly, to blend in when visiting a station. But when people are born, it's likely the parents can alter the child to look the way they want. At least, if they're wealthy. I assume most of the poor human trash inhabit the planets beneath us. |

One thing I noticed about miners is they have an abundance of time. By doing such a trivial thing as resource gathering, yet treating it as a full-time profession they have an inordinate amount of time on their hands. most will go afk and do things around the house or play another game while 'playing' this one haha. Others do more harmful things, like post.
Although from the subjects and content Mr. Hurt seems to be one of the regular lurkers who troll the same topics over and over with a new face. |

Wouldn't activating your clone put you right back at square one thus undoing all the unhealthy effects your life of overeating had caused?
Sounds like a sweet diet to me. |

I'm going to stop this right here and ask good-looking players, like this guy here, to please check their Beauty Privilege at the door of the thread. This is an issue with myself and other typical MMO players. |

Uhhhmmm....24,000AD or close to it? Yeah...we're putting all our effort, now, into solving baldness and prolonging erections. So, I think that we will have done our finest to make ourselves look as pretty as possible, by then. Because superficial stuff seems to be so important to the human race, we have to get all that BS over with before we can even consider space travel. e__e
Besides, just look at the Jove...they're still tweaking their genepool.

You have to start out beautiful then slowly let yourself go by drinking too much quafe and eating too much livestock, while not undocking to get exercise for months at a time.
