"FR's entire skins/accents feature, an extremely popular part of gameplay that contributes a great deal of appeal to the game, is driven almost totally by user-generated content."
This is a point. My thought on the whole concept (in general and particularly when things like this thread came up) is that if they're not making a significant chunk of profit off the UMA system, it's a major headache to have ever put themselves in for in the first place (both complaints when they do let something too extreme, or worse trademarked, or whatever slip through, and bitterness when they don't let something through). Maybe there'd be too much of an outcry if they stopped it now, but they never actually had to start it, which again, makes me think there's decent profit being made.
