I think the Marapet avatars should come in all shapes and sizes. Frankly not everyone has the stick thin body that the Marapet avatars advocates. I think that by allowing only one body type as your avatar sends a message to Marapet players who don't have that specific body type. Especially the younger ones. Body image, and the presumption that skinny is ideal is illogical to the people with regular un-model like bodies. I find that by letting players choose the body they prefer when creating their avatar would be beneficial. They will be able to choose what they want, they can choose skinny, or curvy, pear shaped, ect.
Just a mini-rant. It was kind of bothering me I wouldn't mind an avatar that was similar to my own body type ^_^
hmm that's a really good point! But I think why they have the standard shape is that if they did have different body shapes they would also have to design every piece of clothing for every single body shape which would be difficult. And they couldn't make shape specific clothing because people would get jealous.
