Yes, you can get a TL;DR at the end.
So you're walking through Dunbarton on your way to Bangor [you're in Dunbarton and you're not AFK'ing? HOLY CRAP NO WAY.]. As usual, the square is infested with people who clearly have nothing to do but sit around. You're assaulted by violently flashing articles of clothing. You look around and you realize...oh, everybody is wearing black. And white. Or red. And they flash like they want to give you a hernia. A terra gothic dress, a maid short. And all the girls have long, blonde hair, :3 lips, hugeass eyes [or the 'foreign eyes', ew] and pale skin.
Herpderp.
Anyways, the point of this. I really just feel like *****ing about how so many people look THE SAME in this game. Yes, I agree, the black and white/black and red scheme is cute, but there are only a couple thousand different combinations. Yes, I think the terra gothic dress looks *somewhat* cute [But i'm not going to lie, I don't like looking like a goddamn loli]. But really, would it kill you to be a little more unique? I think that yes, it's cute, and if you look like this, then i'm definitely not slamming you specifically.
It just really annoys me how I pass by little loli girls who look the same, when there are like, 50 hairstyles, 25 or so different eyes, and 20 faces. Sure, some of them are butt-ugly, but there are other combinations. Srsly. Also, trying a skin tone that's darker than peach won't kill you either.
TL;DR: Too many people running around looking the same; lrn2originality.

Meh. There isn't exactly THAT large of a plethora of clothing available.
Also, it's because those are popular colors :P People are unoriginal even in real life. It's just a tad more noticable when it's only a couple of thousand people in-game.

True, but I can think of plenty of really cute clothes that i'd wear, if I wasn't a Giant.
And personally, I find that darker skin looks better than lighter skin, but that's a preference that is definitely different to each person.

Honestly, I don't care about originality. As long as it looks nice.
And by the way, way more people have black or white hair than blond.

Each to his or her own.
Like I said, nothing personal against anybody, it just makes me groan everytime I walk into Dunbarton or anywhere that's populated with people.
I was thinking blonde, because Elves can't have black hair.
Hijiri u gorgeous <3

1. While there are 50+ hairstyles, only a small handful resemble something other than complete garbage.
2. Black/Red are popular colors because of
color symbolism.
3. I also dislike weeaboo/loli bull****. The former are lame, the latter are sick.

Well, it IS true that there are tons and tons of elves with lemon yellow hair and bright blue eyes. Also, they all have the "innocent eyes". But honestly, most people are highly unoriginal in real life as well like Cynic has said before, so eh. Doesn't bother me too much. As long as there aren't tons of people who look EXACTLY like me (down to the exact color scheme and character looks), I don't really care much.
