Never said I'd be against more varied body types. I'm unsure if sliders are in the cards, considering the rework it would take to fit it all to the gear, though I would hope that if we did get any sliders, a bust slider would be the first to come (it's what I really, really, really want). I could see them implementing more preset body types in the future, though - would be pretty straightforward. The only problem would be how to give players access to changing their body type, and the solution I'd pick for that would be to give full recustomization available in-game, like how Rift does (a barbershop that essentially takes you back to the char creation screen, and the gold cost goes up depending on how many and what types of things you edit).
So yea! Totally doable. Just have to convince them it's important.
That said, I do think it's a little unfair to pick on WildStar for not having nonstandard female body types (though actually, their "boxy" choice for body type strays quite far from the standard) when... no one else does either. I mean, FFXIV's female models are all decidedly feminine as well. What's more, you can get some actually fairly non-traditional beauty looks in the face department in WildStar, but in XIV you're limited to a few very standard pretty faces.
