Make Rita Mayfair a Cosmetic Surgeon?

I was monitoring the Help channel last night, and had trouble answering one player: (S)he was playing a Praetorian (still under level 20, so no access to Paragon/RI) and wanted to know if it was possible to change the character's height or gender. "You can purchase the Super Tailor in the Paragon Market," I replied.

The thing is - the player had already bought it. And still had no access to a Cosmetic Surgeon in order to actually use the power. The one tailor in Imperial City, Rita Mayfair, is a standard tailor, not a Cosmetic Surgeon. Any Icon or Facemaker is obviously out for a low-level Praetorian. Same with the tailor in the RWZ. A Praetorian character *can* get to Pocket D - but Trina is walled off inside the Tiki Room unless you have a Pocket D Gold Card.

I'd like for Praetorian characters to have access to at least one Cosmetic Surgeon. It seems unfair to charge players for the Super Tailor, only for them to be told, "Thanks for the cash, but you can't use it yet on this character. Go level some more."

Options for access include 1) Upgrading Rita Mayfair to a Cosmetic Surgeon; 2) Adding another tailor with Cosmetic Surgeon capabilities somewhere else in Praetoria; 3 and 4) Opening the Tiki Room to the general public, or alternately moving Trina somewhere else in Pocket D that isn't gated.

Thoughts?

Icon's been adding a lot of branches lately. Maybe they ought to have a mall-storefront-style outlet in the regular part of Pocket D, like Vault Reserve does. Or in Studio 55, come to that.

It's probably easiest if they just flip whatever bit controls the super-tailor ability on the backend controlling Rita, but frankly I find it so irritating that she's standing outdoors that I'd rather see a new location introduced. It's ever so much fun when night falls during a tailoring session in Imperial City. Or an invincible pedestrian comes along and pushes you halfway to the Trading House.
