I have noticed somthing, Doctors were ment for healing and the buff.
Dancers dance and buff (soon new buff coming)
musitions play and buff (soon new buff coming)
ID image design and stat migrate (well.... Stat migrations are going, and nothing in return. well for not i hope)
Most Professions have 2 or more abilities they can do, one major one like a dancer dances but they buff too.
I fell ID's need 2 major things they can do, one image design and 2.... well i hope one of these neat suggestions make it out to live somday.
i would like a second thing that is a wanted thing by one not looking for a im change, like fraction covering thus a id made them look like a reb and they really are imps.Plz by all means Donot stick us with a button we click and wait for 4 mins for a stst migration. Try to make it fun and interesting.
stats made me good money but, i enjoyed image changes more. when stats leave i will have to go do other things to make money, im ok with that because im tired of stats.

Personaly I like the idea of speicies/ gender change for Image Designer but make it take a while to take effect maybe 40 minutes count on the Image Design window? the idea of name change would be a real nice addition also there are many people who are unhappy with their name and or speicies many of them I know personalyand should be given the option of changing them, 40 minute rule applied on both?. and use the existing name filter that is used during character creation.
If the CSR's are powerless to do this unless the name violates the naming policythen I think Image Designers should be able to change these.
If I could only choose one I would choose the ability to change Speicies and Names just cause alot of people are unhappy with their character and do not wish to loose all the work and time it took to gain exp just to change their speicies / name.

That is an amazing list, well said.
I don't think a gender/species change to be all that good. Once that's chosen, it should stay.
What does need to happen is that there should be a larger amount of things the ID can change. At the moment 98% of what an ID can do is doable at character creation, so why go to an ID?
A Master ID should have options available to give a character that can't be gotten at character creation. This would add something to being an ID.

Ok here is an example, immagine your self thousand of hours of work after you make your character and find that ham cost on special moves are adjusted to cost more per special use on your species nerfing you in effect are you going to be happy with that?
answer: NO your not going to be happy, you are going to whine and moan about it and your character is going to suck. 
Thats ok you can always delete your character you spent countless hours grinding on and spent 7 million FS exp to make jedi and start all over as a new species right? are you really going to do something like that or are you going to wish that a Immage Designer can make your existing toon a new race that has less ham cost per special move? 
Cause you and I both know that SoE will most likely do something stupid like that and ive heard rumors that they have plans on changing species and ham costs ect 
So if that happens are you still going to agree with not being able to change your species? Think agout it 
I dont think it should be an easy change cause then everyone would be doing it alot that can how ever make it take an hour or so in the immage designer window so that ID's would charge alot for it being that it would take so long to do.

I won't for no amount of credits stand there with the ID window open for 40 -60 mins at a time changing some players species.
Maybe if it was on a 5 min timer with set cost of something like 500k - 1mill and the ID got 10% of it, maybe I would then. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud.

I can understand the reasoning behind this line of thinking.
You have to remember one thing though, when SOE takes ideas us players give out, the take it with a grain of salt and that's about all. Using the amount of time "you" invested into "your" character means about jack to them. Their interest isn't in saving you the time spent on getting your character to the point it is. They will say it isn't in line with the "saga" and leave it at that, a Wookie will never (has never) turned into a Twi'lek. Though I don't think that HAM will be that much of a thing post CU, since there isn't ham in the old sense.
Please don't give them ideas to implement it so it costs 500k credits to do a species change, that just gives them the idea to charge an actual fee to have it donoe "officially" lol. Same thing goes for IDs being able to change names.
As to the whining portion... that's about all that will be left to us if they do it such as that. They've done it before, in other games and here, and will do it as they see fit. We just have to suck it up But to answer your question honestly, yes, I will stick with my species no matter what. If it gets to stupid, I'll just quit the game . I tie myself to my character that I create at the start and just try to better it, not change the race due to nerfage-r-us. heh
btw... your sig pretty much sums it up

Well it seems to be like this.
I think they were expecting IDs to be alittle bummed when they lowered the amount of skill points it took to make master.
And as for all the new hair styles and tatoos.
- those are only temp and dont help much in the long run 
I like the idea of cyber netics being part of ID and vendor IDing
However player city salons seem kinda pointless being that who in the right mind would be sitting in you salon in a random city waiting for customers to show up, just like when i had my cantina open and kept my intrest for a good 2 hours

types of scars
cut marks
blaster burns
discolored flesh
acid spatters
maybe even stitches
these could be allover the body, but i would LOVE for my BH to have some nasty scars on his face.

Ok i've read threw everybodies idea's and most of them would be GREAT.
The only thing i can think of that i dont think was mentioned is "and this is such a girl thing" They gameus the ability to adjust our bust size... why not bum's too or at least do a little bit more artwork on the avatar and not make it sooo FLAT.

i would also love for altering the age slider to affect more then just the front of the face. hell, just more effects to the age slider. id like for leku to have some more wrinkles of their own, maybe age would make the male twilek look more mishshapen ( similar, but not cloning Bib Fortuna) rodian antenae drooping, maybe even make posture change a secondary age affect.

Last Name Changed have been denied but what if our players have to keep there name but last names can be JOINED when getting married. like lets just say you have Han Solo and he is gonna marry another person with the last name Dastu. so his name would then be Han Solo-Dastu
having the add on name different in color so you know its really Han Solo and Dastu is just an add on that doesn't count for anything really? Understand? i hope you do i did my best!

I still liked the idea of character decay, rather then getting rubbish cybernetics if you die without clone data your avatar "decays" getting shorter, thinner and with minimal hair (if applicable) since they don't have the materials to fully clone you back.
A quick trip to the ID is required to restore your visage.
