I'm not sure who would prefer a hat which makes you bald, but if Anet changed it I would not be at all surprised to come to the forum and find a thread full of people complaining that it's ruined their character's entire look, or at least that the substitute hair looks worse than none at all.

For example when the Shining Aureate weapons were released I chose the longbow for my guardian, then they were updated to have a fuzzy glow effect around them and now it looks totally wrong for her so I'm left with a skin I'll probably never use. Not a big deal in that case, but I'd have chosen a different weapon if I'd known they were going to do that.)

> Of course they can *copy* the existing version and then edit the copy to make a new item. @"Danikat.8537" 's point is that they would, indeed, do it that way rather than upsetting *someone* by altering the existing item. For what it's worth, that's SWTOR's explicitly-stated policy, especially for Cartel Market (== Gem Store) items. It's very rare for them to alter existing items if they aren't bugged in some way, as in the recent modifications to the Pragmatic Master's armour set. That was altered because it looked different "in-game" versus during cut-scenes.

 

and my point is that they are known for simply not do anything and run away from issues like that even while they know about this problem for 8 years, that's to me a sign of a poor excuse of a company.
