It's heartwarming at least to see so many people that agree with me. I was worried it was just me that it bothered, but after my boyfriend pointed it out I thought I should say something.
I know Anet doesn't ever listen to its player base, otherwise we would have new hairstyles and new playable races already instead of the same repeatable story instance over and over (That is not going to make it to T4, by the way).
But hey. At least the cash shop gets updated! Maybe they'll add a "mount slider" shop item or new hairstyles as a rare drop from chests!
