I love ID'ing. Changing the way someone looks so they are happy and can be creative with their own looks and personalities, is what brings the greatest joy to me about the Profession. Seeing someone whose look is hidious or a newby like her get a makeover and look really nice, brings me great joy.
Exactly. I think this one of the reasons many of us won't ever give it up. It truly is satisfying to help someone, both with the game and look better.
I ID new players for free as well, and my tailor alt will make any outfit free for a new character. They're always so happy! I love watching people get so excited.
One thing I did learn, though. Make sure they really are newbs. I had a guy a couple months ago who threw on newb clothes, put up his "Novice Marksman" tag, and asked me for free ID and some cash to get clothes. I said sure, IDed him, and while I was waiting for him to accept, examined his bio. He had mastered pretty much every profession and had a junkload of badges. Thank god I hadn't tipped him the money yet. Jerk.
Thats just rude and disrespectful. Shame on him.

This sort of thing is EXACTLY the reason that the devs don't OWE us anthing for getting rid of those damned stat migrations. The ID profession is doing just fine, thank you.
Oh yeah... i know...
Running a group yesterday in Theed.
Guy comes up asking for ID (new haircut, I was free to choose on and a little bit of tan)....
While going at it, I checked his other things... The most uber (and ugly) setting: full torso, full muscle, almost full height and no weight.... I asked if I could a bit with the other things as well give him a more "natural mature" look ... No...... he did like his muscles and stuff......
So ofcourse, I altered them... Gave him a bit of weight , dropped muscles and torse quitea bit...
Looked way more natural afterwards...
Never told him tho, and when he wanted to know how he looked, I send him to a human female (in same group) because I'm a Twi'
When he left the group, we had a great laugh about it when i told them.
