Realistic Stances

I had an idea, how hard would it be to have characters have the option to look heroic but have just normal standing with legs together when AFK? I was thinking not everyone need to flex muscles all the time.

More stances in the vein of the Going Rogue StanceHero and StanceVillain would be VERY welcome, yes. Right now, StanceVillain2 is the only stance... IN THE ENTIRE GAME that lets us stand with our legs together.

I'm hoping that with the Paragon Market in place we'll start getting more stance emotes sold individually as they get made. It'd be cool to start getting a few new ones released like every month or so.

Those aren't exactly stances, though, at least to the extent that these aren't ways in which people stand, so much as they are poses people assume for the purpose of posing in a specific way. A stance is something that's much more natural to the way people stand or ply their professions - which in City of Heroes is fighting, pretty much. Calm, alerted, angry, monstrous, combat ready, fancy martial-artsy and so forth.

Almost all of those stances have the legs wide apart in what I must admit is a dramatic pose, but what is also really uncomfortable if you have to stand around in place for a while. Check out how people stand when waiting for a bust at a station, for example, and you'll see what I mean - most often they stand with their heels much closer together and most of their weight straight down on just one leg so as to let the rigidity of the skeleton take as much weight as possible off the actual muscles.

Those kinds of stances are what I'd like to see more of.
