First off, here's your open letter: C
Second, I'm noticing an unsettling trend. People are using their in game avatars in the forum. What before was an eclectic mix of colourfull, strange and diverse set of people quickly is turning into a sea of mundane :|'s
When reading threads I refer to posters by their avatars. For instance, Agony Aunt is my nemesis in that regard. Now however it's in game avatar #237624. I don't know who you are, never met you, stop 1000 yard staring at me. The forum is descending into uncanny valley!
Yeah. So ....
This is important stuff this is, right?
It's not is it?
Oh very well. Never mind. Coffee anyone?

I use two avatars...
This one...and another one for when I'm brooding
I'm not changing that for anything![]()
Your only choice is to unfriend them and block them in-gameYAY! Someone else said it. Been thinking this myself recently, I thought I'd really love the avatars and I fully expected people to start using them in the forum too. Haven't got the beta but was planning on re-creating myself (as many others have done) as soon as 2.3 was released. Now however I'm not so sure. I've seen loads of these avatars recently (in screenshots, as forum avatars, on facebook) and yes, they're incredibly lifelike, probably some of the best game avatars I've ever seen. But but but ... I've come to the realisation that I don't want to know what all my Fuel Rat chums look like, or what the other Bucky Ball racers look like. I really don't. I like the mystery. I like these guys ..

.. beautiful tho you all are. Same goes for you Ziggy. Please don't ever ruin the mystery! I don't want to know.
Me? I'm gonna design my in-game avatar (just for fun) but ... that helment is NEVER coming off.
