I've read that Blizzard has no plans to "implement plastic surgeons". I'm guessing that means that the "face" aspect of your appearance, as opposed to "hair style" or "hair color" or "piercings", will not be changeable in-game. Why is this restricted? If you've made a draenei (a male, anyway) you may have noticed that when you change the "hair style" option it reshapes the entire head. How is this less drastic than, say, changing my gnome's face so that he stops scowling?

Your not going to get many responses if you keep giving everyone that look.

This will solve everything:

Remove marklar from marklar so that their marklar is not so important. To compensate for marklar being removed, add marklar to their marklars. It's so simple!

The idea is that hair is something that makes sense to be changeable in the game and the cosmetic alteration can make a very positive impact for some players so we want to make this available to everybody. By making the hair styles change, it does vary by race what this does to the character, but we also have no plans at this time to exclude people from using a cosmetic feature like this. We are also looking into extending this to cover facial hair features as well, but this has not been finalized at this time.

We are also providing players the opportunity to learn new/different dances with the dance studio. Even if your character is scowling, this is another cosmetic change that can give your character a real positive attitude and people have shown great enthusiasm for.

With a face like yours, I don't mind plastic surgery for you.

I'm telling ya, send them down to the Apothecarium. We can do amazing things with a scapel down in the Undercity! :)

Anesthetic, though... that one still eludes us...

Wait, wait, wait... 'dance studio'?

Not everything has to "make sense" or be realistic. Giving the player base something they want is probably the best option.

Is there going to be new haircuts introduced as well? Some races would really need more choices of haircuts. For example, I wished I could give really long hairs to my warrior, but that isn't available on human females.

What?

I apparently no longer understand English. Did you mean to say that by learning a new dance his gnome will be happier and stop scowling? But what will happen to the people who have chars that scowl (and are happy with it) that learn to dance. Or the people who WANT a scowl and don't have one... can they unlearn their dance?

Hmm. I think I need to go take some tylenol. My head hurts.
