I'm all for being able to switch subclasses that would be easy.. almost like a respec. I'm also all for a barbershop type appearance change where you can change your hair style/color but not much if anything else. But as for class/race/gender changing, no it just wouldn't make sense financially for the company or story wise for the people who care about that.

I never even thought about this topic lorewise, and it makes even more sense to to be able to do it. And yes, I think the creation of another character is ALMOST pointless, unless you want a new class.
