I'm Special Darn It!

No one wants to be just like everyone else, but has it become a trend in MMO developing to make things easier, by making cookie cutter characters?

I have always been vocal in regards to my opinion that while the creation process of character models are okay, it certainly did not meet up with it's full potential. And I hate to draw that same old comparison, but it is a must in this topic. Stars Wars Galaxies.
