			Will be your first consumer in this. Have a nice day.	
----
			Going to go out on a limb and say no. Why have this? The game isn't free to play and I want to work for my cool cosmetics in game through in game means. Not this cash shop non-sense. So overall NOPE!	
----
			I would like to see an in-game "barber" if you will to change your hair and certain character features like most every other MMO has. And you don't have to have a F2P game to make money off of a feature like this, blizz has shown that. I wouldn't mind them making this feature down the road for full customization like they have with WoW, aka complete character rework, race change and what not. It brings in good money

This would be a great service! As long as its not cash shop! I do not want my $15 going towards development time of new hairstyles and what not so they can advertise and sell them. I want content not just cosmetics to be sold. That's why I left GW2, no new content was coming out just cash shop garbage all the time.
----
			
I have money and i would use such a service.
 
This option still exists in the other MMO's like WoW or SWTOR and i know no reason, why Carbine should not setup such a service here to.
 
Its an option for Players who wants to pay lot of Money, same like Name Change, Server Transfer or Buy CREDD to earn Ingame Money. If you dont want to change your Characters appearance, simple dont buy such a service but to write down for ALL PLAYERS who plays Wildstar, that YOU dont accept such a service is a bit weird.
 
There are always lot of players who only want to play the monthly sub costs and become all for free from Carbine. But they dont only created this game for US, they want to earn money to too keep this game alive and earn much more money.
 
Maybe with the whole money earned, carbine will become more employees to patch the future Updates with less bugs that ruins the whole class :)	
----
			I would soooo throw money at Carbine if I could change one of my characters appearances. It's just like other sub games, so not looking for "cash shop" nonsense. Just another thing to add in like transfers and name changes. 	
----
			
Topics like this make me ill. 
 
Not the idea of character customization or changing appearance later in game, but rather the "I'd pay real money for this basic feature."
 
Change your name? $20
Move to a server with people on it? $20
Change your hair color? $20
 
When the game has both a price of admission ($60) and a monthly fee ($15) there's no reason for any of this to cost extra money.

it costs money because people will pay. It's just another way for Carbine to make money. If players in previous games would have refused to pay for it and set the bar there then this would be asked for in the aspect of free in game service, but alas it wasn't. So now people ask for the paid option because it's a standard

So MMO developers are greedy and so the way to get what you want is to wave cash at them?
 
This is a premium game, there's no reason for such heavy monitization. What's next? Pay 25 cents to start the next quest? After all the precedent was set back in the arcade days...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
All you have to do is write "WTB (Insert name of paid service) i will pay 1plat more than the current credd price!"
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Again it came down to the players saying, yes we'll pay you for that service
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
In SW:TOR it's seen as a pure cash grab and it ain't winning them any good will (other than the handful of whales that use it). Most of their cash shop stuff can be put on the AH but appearance changes require cash shop currency which cannot be traded.
 
Shame, it would have been an excellent credit sink.
----

And then proceed to get banned as a gold seller. Clear win there.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm not saying that other games haven't used it to their advantage in one way or the other, but this is basic supply and demand.

Supply and demand is important. Maximizing your short-term profits to the point where your customers feel cheated is an excellent way to insure that demand falls off a cliff. That's what happened to TOR's customizer: very few people use it. An alternative way of monetizing it would have been to sell new hairstyle, tattoo, jewelry unlocks, yet they decided they wanted pennies instead of dollars.
 
Look how irritated people are at the dye costs here. Imagine if they had to spend real world money?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Issue being is it most often appears in F2P games as a way for Devs to make money, not sub based.
 
If sub based gets full blown cash shop then we're getting double dipped for half service :(

How is this even still being debated, WoW people WoW

			I want to shorten Jacosta's chin just slightly and change her hair color, so I would totes buy this!

Will the cash shop you want have battle pets at least? :D
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
and you are missing the point completely. PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR IT IN THIS THREAD!!! THE WHOLE THREAD IS ASKING FOR THIS SERVICE!!

No, people are waving a fist full of real world cash saying "take mah money!".
 
Yes, we need a re-customizer (my poor Aurin's eyes) but it should use in game currency only. If people want to throw extra real world money at it, that's what CREDD is for.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
People are also asking for server merges in hundreds of threads.  Doesn't mean it is going to happen.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
lol I am not asking for a cash shop, I didn't even start the thread. I am saying there is a very good, well built model out there that Carbine can follow to allow them to make more money off players that want to pay for these services. No where in WoW is anyone paying to win because they get to change their name or their race or their skin color... man, it's like most of the people in here are brick walls...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
lol im just screwing with ya, unlike some of the others who seem to be serious :P
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
YOU WOULD!!! 
----
			The second I see "$10 to change your hair color" I am gone. It never ends...you want the Tornie outfit ? Not a new quest chain...not content $25 bucks. New mount ? Drops from a new boss in a new dungeon ? Nope $50 in the cash shop. Nope.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Obviously I am not getting through with this, assume what you want and don't read. I'm done here
----
			
I'd like to see minor appearance stuff available to change in game for free or a minor in-game currency fee.  Definitely basics like hair/facial hair, but really all the customization options at character select could be enabled (face type, body type, eye/skin colour, etc).
 
For bigger things like race changes, I don't have a problem with them charging for it- but perhaps I'm more desensitized by games I've played having that already.  Plunking down cold hard cash to change my moustache does rub me the wrong way, though.	
----
			I'd rather it not cost RL money since it's already a sub-based game.	
----
			
I fully support an in game barber/stylist. And given the fact there are handfuls of threads created weekly asking for this feature apparently so do other players. 
 
Yes, I understand other needs demand more immediate attention such as optimizing the game, fixing class balance, ratcheting down attunement or ratcheting up dungeon rewards, etc, but a barber shop would be really cool to have. 
 
ALso I would pay real money for a character recustomization feature. My Cassian medic needs a butt implant and a boob job. 	
----
			Considering there is not a good way to tell how armor is going to fit your characters bodytype, how much clipping you might get with hats and certain hairstyles and all of that....I think a customization feature isn't too much to ask for and is pretty reasonable in a game that obviously cares about cosmetics. We have fully customizable costumes, houses and all of that. It would be a mistake to not let us then fix our characters up a bit to really be what we want. 	
----
			
Barber shop/plastic surgeon should not be a paid service. That should be part of the regular game.
 
Faction transfers, race changes, name changes ... much like cosmetic items like weapon skins, vanity pets and costumes should populate an AWESOME CASH SHOP so we rich Texans with Oil Money can spend it and look better than the poor people who are only paying a subscription!!!!!!
 	
----
			
No to having cake and eating it. If I'm paying a sub, i don't want to dish out on a cash shop.
 
Post might as well read "Want to make money? up subscriptions by £5! Have a nice day."

So don't ... It's really really easy.
 
If you don't want to spend money on it, don't.

I'm not talking about free max-level characters. I'm talking about cosmetic extraneous crap that doesn't affect your gaming at all. I thought that's what we were talking about?
 
Or are you conveniently moving the goal posts in the hopes of winning this discussion? Because you're not. Money makes the world go around - and there is nothing you can do about it.

The one that recently added both? Yes, and they got trouble, not many people take kindly to buying level 90's and the purchased mounts are highly frowned upon.
 
Luckily WoW has the foundation to get away with it with only a few hundred thousand irritated people, i wouldn't try it with a new MMO.

That's what everyone in this thread is trying to do that doesn't understand what it is about. The whole point is to literally allow re-customization of your character. Nothing more. People can't grasp that and are flipping out about everything else they think that this is going to create...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Oh, I know. I'm with you on this one.
 
Honestly, sometimes I think people who are so dead-set against "cash shops" are just too poor to admit it - and just self-entitled enough to honestly believe they "deserve everything made for this game while they are paying a sub" ... and that is just total garbage.
 
As I said in the other thread, call your basic cable provider and demand "everything that's on cable, because I pay for cable!" Yeah. They're going to hang up on you and laugh.

Im definately rallying for a barbershop.. but i think the op is referring to get his base appearance changed and yes.. some sub mmo's offer this.. it may not be directly blunt.. but you can do this in wow.. race changes anyone?
Not sure if they have a more direct method for this but through a hoop or two you can still do this...

TBH I have zero extra cash to put towards a cash shop, but you know what, I don't care if there is one or not. I have played plenty of games that have them and didn't even visit them or look at them because I didn't want to waste my time on something I couldn't get anyway. :P

they literally have a true re-customization option that when you pay for it you go through the process again of creating a character. This is what they are asking for.
 
(the only thing you can't do is rename, unless you pay for that service too)
----
			
I think we should drop the whole WOW/cash shop debate and focus on the more important topic at hand... My Cassian needs a boob job and some butt implants. 
 
Carbine make this happen.

This thread gave me a great idea.  Motorized Goal posts for the NFL.  That said.. re-customization?  Just money sink it for plat.  It can't be that difficult. 
 
30 yard chip shot becomes a 42 yard kick at a 31 degree away facing angle. ...and the goal posts are vibrating.	
----
			Barber shop? Yes. Minor customization akin to WoW.Paid re-customization? it would be a nice option to have but the game is currently not worth sinking real money into it. CREDD subscription. Even then, my character is stuck at a bugged zone story quest in Auroria so I might not even buy CREDD to renew.The game needs to be refined and fixed before I consider sinking any real money into it. Personal opinion.

			Who said anything about it this being a cash shop thing? Cash shop items are usually cosmetic items such as costumes or potions that boost exp/rep/whatever. If anything, it'd be like the name change and realm xfer services: a paid service. That being said, with Wildstar being a futuristic game, I can see not only an ingame barber (hair style/color change), but also an ingame plastic surgeon (face/body customization). The change to eye color could simply be something like a color contact shop.
