Hi.

I also don't like people jamming stuff into the names field that isn't their name (for non-gimmick roles). This applies to titles as well as unconventionally structured names (e.g. Elder Scrolls Argonian Verbs-the-Noun lizard names). These in addition to other things, as well as non-standard human skin colors adversely affect the setting vibe for me.

Same. I also think there's enough options available esp. with hair styles and uniform "accents" (changing out your shoes, backpack, outer layer, hat), and don't think your base uniform or full-spectrum skin color changes are needed as part of that and that there are more-than-sufficient options already.
I don't like non-standard hues in the same way that I think running around with a pink-and-neon-blue "camo" and a golden weapon looks ridiculous in games like Call of Duty (and the move towards that is one of many reasons I don't play CoD).
At the end of the day, this is a matter of individual aesthetic preference. Everyone is going to have different ideas on where the line should be drawn here. Moving the line in either direction from its current position is always going to meet resistance and upset someone (or upset those who want it moved if you don't move it).
