1) If you had to pick only one change, which would you prefer that the devs work on first:
a) Purely aesthetic new content, such as new hairdos
b) Functional abilities, such as buffing, smuggling disguises, etc
c) I feel strongly about both, equally, and therefore want to work on first whatever is likely to be actually done, or is easier to do first, or whatever is in the devs' field of vision. I want new content, and I don't care which new content comes first.
2) True/False I believe that Image Design should remain a purely aesthetic profession, and I only want new content that will relate to that.
Please feel free to elaborate on any answers.

False. I think new content of any type is welcome and I would enjoy having the ability to do something combat-types find "useful." I think it would revitalize the profession and give us more respect. However, I don't want the focus on "useful" abilities to dwarf the aesthetic changes that we have been lobbying for, and cause the devs to ignore our requests. I see ID as a primarily (though not exclusively) aesthetic profession and I don't really want to shift focus away from that.

1) a. While I'd like to see some functional content (that won't drag us kicking and screaming into a firefight) I still love ID mainly because of the aesthetics.
2) False. As above, as long as that new content doesn't force us onto the front lines, I'm open for new things.

1) A . We've been screaming for new hairstyles/colors for a long time now. I personally feel that ID is aesthetic and should remain that way. Its fluff, fluff that i love.
2) True. Im already a dancer so i can already buff mind. Im a Master Artisan so i already make items. I got into Image Design for what it was not for what i thought it should be.
Having said the above Syzygy's opinion is consider-worthy. I suppose id have to see what kind of ADDITIONAL content the devs would add before i shut the door on it completely.

Great poll 
1) If you had to pick only one change, which would you prefer that the devs work on first:
a) Purely aesthetic new content, such as new hairdos - I'm more optimistic of more colors, though I haven't heard if these have been approved. Only because the art team is in the depths of space expansion stuff.
2) True/False I believe that Image Design should remain a purely aesthetic profession, and I only want new content that will relate to that.
False - I think it would be neat if we had a variety of activities to choose from. We don't each have to like everything we might be able to do. For example, as a tailor, I don't do bio engineered clothing and have never gotten grief from any combat person that inquired about it.

You just wrote everything I would like to say.

1. The more aesthetic improvements I can get, the better. Fuctionality will always play a secondary role for me.
2. I would like to see some other kinds of additions made, but not if it means putting aside our aesthetic issues.
