Could be nice to use re-sculpting interface for ISK with price depending on amount of past attempts. First re-sculpting - 1m, next - 5, 10, 15 etc. with max price 100m.

Makes sense really. Purely cosmetic. No gameplay advantage. Isk sink. The mechanics are already there so not terribly difficult to impliment. Amuses the people who want it. Doesn't effect the people who don't.

Exactly. Nobody affected, it's already there, could be ISK sink. And it's fun mini-game. For me it's much more fun than PI for example.

At the moment this is a good idea. I would like to be able to re-sculpt some of my badly thought our alts.

There could be some debate as to whether this would be a good idea once the doors open and we can mingle thought. Our look would be our identity at that point and there are similar arguments to that being kept the same as our names being kept the same (which has been argued massively and the outcome every time is people shouldn't be able to change their identities).

This could make a good isk sink, but I would rather see the resculpts being a flat 50M or 100M fee. Or perhaps give an option to resculpt each jump clone for a fee.

1b and double for every re sculpt for the life of the account just to keep people from re-sculpting frivolously. Some of us actually look at people's avatars.

Personally I'm in the "stop people from selling their characters camp". So my stance against re-sculpting is similar. It should be a big deal not a minor inconvenience. It is annoying in the extreme when I open a convo with a friend to divulge some juicy gossip, and get a "Who are you?"

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.
