Are there any chances that we will be able to post our own pictures for our profile pictures? Not necessarily pictures of ourselves in real life but our main character or some thing from the game?

    At present, that looks like it isn't going to happen. They've been adding more pictures, but I don't think the mod team wants to spend their time policing the profile pics some people would put up...

    Yeah that's true. Although they could just have the program not allow any pictures they wouldn't want posted to even be uploaded, but that would probably take too much time & I'm sure people would find a way around it sooner or later. I'd just rather have a picture of my bad ass looking werewolf up here than a generic one.

    Not sure about uploading forums avatars, but it would be nice if you could select one of your characters, and have it taken from the selection screen. Maybe updated once a week, so the systems could be kept seperate.

    I was thinking along the same lines, if we could use our screenshots & crop profile pics from there.... they wouldn't have to police any questionable content.

    I agree with both of you but I wouldn't be able to do a werewolf profile picture that way :( lol.

    Would be cool if we could do what the Bioware forums allowed for Dragon Age users. You could actually choose the face of one of your characters.

    In beta, we could used our own profile pics, but on released, ZOS took that option away for some reason. :'(

    it was the usual reasons, a bunch of brats used pictures of obscene or profane things.

    It's a shame that because some people are dumb & like to mess things up for every one else just for a stupid laugh at that given moment. If any thing they could just block them from putting their own picture up if they do it once, like a probation period for doing it.

    I would love to see custom avatars. They really wouldn't have to police them for profanity, they could just rely on other players to report offensive avatars. If noone reports a given offensive avatar, its apparently not that offensive so who cares.

    Yeah, ZOS also can used how many post one has, badges, etc to let the old timers have their own profile pics while the noob's have to use the default ones until they earn the use of their own profile pics. I think links and PM's work that way now on the forums, why not add the profile pics once one earn 'em?

    That is a good suggestion @k9mouse‌. I'd be on the forums a whole lot more just to unlock that feature.

    I think they should make the profiles more customizable in general, not just pics. It would be great to one day be able to have pictures and stats of your various characters, what guild you are in, and maybe even a short profile text.

    (And maybe in the future add in-game profiles for your characters. From an RP perspective it would be cool to be able to write a few words about your character, if you for example have come up with some kind of backstory etc.)
