Tanning Salons and barber shops in WoW?

It’s a subject that some forum members claim have been posted about every week. What’s noteworthy about it this time is that this is the first time a suggestion to make it possible for players to edit personal appearances of characters has taken this form. Encartus, member of the World of Warcraft forums suggests a tanning salon. He writes:

To all those sick of your balding head, drab color, pasty skin, and lack of piercing, rejoyce! I propose to this community a concept that will fundamentally change the way you play!

A barber shop and tanning salon!

Now, I don’t know exactly how character information is stored (Devs do, Mods or CMs might) but it would be rather snappy to be able to edit our personal appearance after all of this time. Aesthetics is important to many who play wow, and to have my character finally get the beard he has in his forum avatar would bring joy to this old man’s heart.

The response so far? Other members have noted that since it’s been talked about almost every week it is likely, they hope, that something will be done about the issue as soon as possible. Others have even noted that it will likely be included in the next update or what-not.

Blizzard‘s take on the tanning salon suggestion? Community Manager Nethaera says that tanning salons “aren’t any healthier for you than the sun itself.” Nethaera suggests that perhaps fake tan sprayers would be a better.

Well what about you folks? What’s your take on adjusting the minor aesthetic things like skin tone and hair length?
