Since PvP characters are created and destroyed regulary, I don't think anyone really bothers with Makeover credits on them, right? Here's a suggestion:

As long as you have 1 or more available Makeover Credits, you can freely change appearance on a PvP character. Only difference is that it doesn't reduce your credits when you change it. This would still force you to buy from ingame shop, and you would have to reserve a credit for PvP for it.

NOTE:
Personally I would rather see this as a free feature but we all know that's not going to happen.

It's not free because anet wants fools to spend their credits on a pvp character accidentally so that they buy more.

Harsh, but true.

who plays there pvp characters for looks?

/notsigned as you already explained why we shouldnt(becuz they are deleted constantly).

When PvP characters are created, they are level 20 and gain full access to every unlock on your account instantly. That being said they have no sentimental value other than actually keeping them for birthday gifts. Or if you were crazy enough to get Party Animal/Drunkard or any other character based title on them. But not counting pressies or titles, re-rolling a PvP character is a lot more practical than paying real life money to change their features in anyway.

I too would like to see this feature being free because....put simply it's a pretty light weight service, changing a polygon on your screen means changing your graphics on that character... but for anet's servers it's changing a word or small bit of code in your 500 KB character file -_-

BUT... Even though That is my opinion, heres why it isn't free and a good reason why. You can have a Tyrian character's face with canthan hair. This simply cannot be done at character select AFAIK.

Now that we know it's possible, why not just give PvP characters the ability to choose any face/hair/skin from the get-go?

Ok, it seems this forums is 99.9% PvE scrubs so I will tell you why changing the look of PvP characters costs the same amount of money as PvE ones. Because you can buy your PvP guys new armor skins, yes it's true it is not a myth. Of course that I would love for it to be free but..I can see why it costs (I mean fair wise, not developing wise...).

@ Kain Fz : I don't like you. You seem like a guy that gives his opinion about things that he has no clue about. Not just in this thread. I hope I'm wrong though. (Just felt like saying it, dunno why actually).

why do people unlock fancy swords and armors in pvp if not for looks?

That's the REAL reason why they are charging for PvP makeovers.
It isn't something like ... I don't know ... because they can?

On-topic:
Meh.
I care about pretty in PvE - so if any changes are made regarding the makeover options, they should be applied to PvE first.
There are more important things to worry about than pretty in PvP.

Here's a (not-so) secret. Those aren't unlocked swords/armors, those are PvE characters.

I made a suggestion similar to this awhile back, the people who paid were outright against it (anything to save face for themselves no doubt) but the polls showed otherwise.
