I would much rather have an ID terminal since my large tatooine house is already decorted as a salon.
I pretty much agree with all of you on your top 5 as well, and if they give us ID terminals I would like to be able to have it with a Register Salon thing for Master IDs this could greatly improve my buisness as all my customers will know exactly where to find me and could schedule appointments and I wouldnt have to leave my wonderful player city which is built perfect to my playing style.
Not only the Armor bug but I get this Weird swimming bug where the person Im IDing (sometiems myself) is swimming in the user interface.
The Ability to craft holoemotes would be swell as well.
and of course 3D Facial Hair for ALL Races espcially us Bothans...we need facial hair 
when they put the 3D facial hair (If they do) I would like some new facial hair designs like some really long beards, maybe even some bears that could be braided.
and of course all of the stuff listed in my ID Idea thread that is in my signature.

/agree with most just wanted to share a couple of my thoughts
1) first thing would be to fix the bugs... armor/previous clothes and hats stay on in window. And that other one where you can do all the changes or the stats.. wait the time out and then it says "changes not valid" or something. Has happended only 3 times to me . but is a big one especially if it was for stats. And then there is the other one where sometimes after you give a char. a new style.. they can't see the color changes even if you can
2) timer issues.. we all hate the 10 min stat changes. /sigh
3) I would love to have a terminal droid. I understand people not wanting to drop everything to give someone a stat change anywhere... but at the same time you would be able to do it. I get most of my business outside when traveling around w/ my tag up. When i don't want to be bothered... i change my tag, and if someone messages me anyways I make an appointment w/ them for later. But, sometimes I just don't want to leave the current planet i am on , and I wouldn't mind at all to set up my happy little droid and whip out some stat changes and business. 
4) we need more content... fun things like tatoos/ peircings would be great.. maybe make them schematics to find or abilities to quest for .. that would be so much fun. Also we are in desperate need of things like butt sliders/hip sliders/ leg sliders/ neck sliders/ head size for other species rather than wookies. I think toons would be a lot more varied if they had the option to customize their characters' bodies more
5) and finally i think that there should be more hairstyle options for zabraks ! I am tired of the ponytail in all 200 colors Hee hee .. just would love to see more for all the species shake things up a little

I am new to the ID profession on the Valcyn server, however I agree with the issues already listed.
On a personal note: IREALLY would like the idea of an ID tent for player cities. I dont see why it cannot be similar to the merchent set up for other business focused characters. It could be architecht made and given the ability to be placed by Master ID level. Since I am an entertainer and that is the service I provide my guild it would be wonderful to not have fly to Corellia from Dantooine everytime I need to do a stat migrate. 
Thanks for gathering our thoughts

Shamelessly stolen and reworked.
1. New art content!
- Hairstyles
- wookiee fur styles
- tattoos
- scars
- other particle effects
- piercings
2. Player city tents OR terminals OR (at a last resort) droids
(Editorial: I'd prefer not droids, simply because I *do not* want to do stat migrations in the field, and have a hard enough time saying no as it is, when I'm shuttling through Theed to X hunting spot)
3. Misc. User Interface Problems
- Numbers for sliders/palettes
- Larger colour swatches (or the ability to say, enlarge colour box in new window, etc)
- System messages for completed ID sessions (cancelled/accepted)
- Post accept cancel option for LDed customers

I like the list. My personal pet peeves:
1. We need a "are you sure" window to come up when the customer (or ID) accidently cancels the session. I think this already has a big Ok from the developers but just want to be sure.
2. Don't close the ID's window until the customer has accepted the change.
3. Clothing update bug - check.
4. The tiny pallets (otherwise known as "Arrrg! My eyes!") - check.
5. Stat migrate ID droid/terminal/both - check.
6. What do you mean we can only have 5???
Ummm...
5 and a half? 100% /agree with stuff for wooks and mon cals to ID, new art, and all the rest.

Personally, I'd like a droid instead of a tent. Doctors arn't tied down to the med center, dancers and musicians are not tied down to the cantina and they mow have portable crafting stations. Why are we tied down to a tent? Fresh air, the great outdoors and the opportunity to wander is what I want.

- Fix the new UI bugs:Armor showing up, hairstyle showing wrong if you do two IDs on same person in a row are the worst of them
That one is new to me. Is it repeatable somehow? Or can you give more detailed info please?
This has happened to me as well. Sometimes, if you switch out your own hairstyle to something else, when you bring up the UI window it will show you as having the same hairstyle that you had before, regardless of whether or not you changed it. It hasn't really been an issue that I've encounted with customers, just with myself. As far as irritation value, I didn'tfind it all that hard to get around, nor has it happened very much to me. Only occasionally.

In no particular order:
1. Armor/clothing bug. I haven't been a MID that long, but from what I can tell this is NOT a new issue and even I am tired of seeing publish after publish without this being addressed. I know that if it were me, the time it takes me to log back in on my old heap of junk would not be worth any id-ing.
2. Image Designing Droids. Just about every profession but ours has some kind of droid (combat(melee and ranged), docs, crafters, BH, dancers, musicians, etc). I see no reason we should not have them also. If you would prefer not to be able to do migrations (or id'ing) outside the tent, all you have to do is not buy one.
3. Xp and time needed to Master (or level up for that matter). There is no way in the current system to master in a single lifetime without "grinding" (something the devs were discouraging I thought). It does seem pretty ridiculous that it is easier to "get the glow" than to become an Image Designer. :-)
4. ID-UI. Names and numbers would be a HUGE help and not take away at all from our "designing" (such as the user-selected id-ing would). Agree with the palettes be WAY to small (in color and size). At 1600x1200, they are almost impossible to see.
5. Ok, this one is just going to be kind of a catchall for various "art" requests. Facial hair that actually matches head hair would be nice. New hairstyles, horns (epecially for Zab females), patterns, would be great.
Guess that pretty much sums it up. :-)

Sorry for that guys! it seems I somehow turned off convert linebreaks accidently. :-/
Also forgot to add (and this will probably get me laughed out of the profession), but I would love to see a hips/butt slider. I mean, it is really any more ridiculous than "torso" /wink /wink slider? :-)

Perfect solution imo. That way stat migrates can be done quickly and allow the ID to move onto the more interesting clients. Removing all timers would be silly imo. Even at master. Can you imagine the xp you could get with an alt for FS xp?! 2k xp every 15s or so if you allow for loading and lag etc. 10k a minuteish! How about making it so you get 0xp for no timer (10min for effects to take place) or 2k if you sit out the 10mins. That would work around that issue.
