Why has the "Appearance Change" taken so long?

Looking at what they showed in ESO Live it's just returning us to character creation and locking out a few options. My thread about this was posted 14 months ago.... (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/165626/the-barber-shop-is-being-worked-on-community-input-goes-here/p1).
If they were adding barbershops across Tamriel and adding new NPCs and whatnot, I'd totally understand it taking well over a year to add to the game. What we saw in ESO Live seems to be character creation with a new backdrop.
Why did that take 14 months?

What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

✭✭✭✭✭I would like to know this too. After so long, and not even extra options in the Character Creator :TJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.1 -
GCypher87✭✭✭I'm just guessing but, Imperial City was released in August that year, Orsinium was announced in Oct, then Thieves Guild in March of 2016, and Dark Brotherhood just recently so i think they were a little busy with non-cosmetic gameplay. My guess is that they would concentrate more on the big stuff then worry about quality of life after. In ESO live today they were also talking about racial revisions and how race change was required before they make the changes. So that's probably why they made time to do it now.PC: @Cyffr1 -

✭✭My assumption is they've been spending time fixing and improving everything else that was broken prior to it while working on it. There's been (and are) a lot of issues to fix.0 -

Well it could still be "being worked on" but very slowly. And making something like this doesn't just take a week. You have to write the code, then check if the code works. Did it mess up anything? How do we do this and have all the achievements roll over. What about researched traits, inventory, etc. It could have been the start of the project when they said they were working on it. Sometimes you just need a little patience.PC: @Cyffr0 -

✭✭✭✭✭They said last December that there were 80+ other systems that had precedent over this... let's also not forget we have had several other DLCs, VR removal, etc... and ZOS clearly does not have a large team of devs... so yes, implementing things takes time. Sure it may seem like, "well, the character creator was already there so..." but getting it to work with Tokens, the Crown Store, having it update an existing character, etc... all takes a lot of time coding. They even stated how they had to deal with the issue of what to do about initial crafting motif along with how to handle changes to racial passives... so yes, it was a lot of work I'm sure.CP: 2130 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

Calboy✭✭✭✭✭It's all about the money. Every decision zenimax make is about turning a profit so the game can be continually funded. People just can't seem to grasp that idea.3 -
Dakrana_Thrazvoth✭✭✭✭Matt Firor said on previous interview why it taken so long :
"Barbershop" still coming (being able to change name, appearance, race, etc). No ETA, but it is not part of first 2 quarters plan for this year. What's taking so long with it? In and of itself it's not too complex, but there are "about 80 systems" being worked on at the same time, which makes it take longer.Edited by Dakrana_Thrazvoth on June 25, 2016 3:08AM1 -
Van_0S✭✭✭✭✭Well OP,
ZO$ is lazy and greedy also so some absurd political issues in that company. So, that's why it takes a lot of time for them to implement features1 -

✭✭✭✭✭They need to waste as much time as possible you know, coding in all this new stuff with lots of complex systems and such.
They want to see what they can charge us Crowns for and what they can leave as Sub-only. No plans to have free content or make it cost gold now.
ZOS does not fix bugs/performance issues because it won't make them $$$$$$ like charging Crowns for cosmetics, name change, race change, etc will.1 -

Why did that take 14 months?
Why becuase they left that in sleeve for later...
When lot of hardcore people left they can hold new players and RP players with things like that so they get some money before its time to say goodbye...
