Ah. That makes since.
Tbh, kinda hoping that adding at least a basic skintone starting set for the avatar base is something they'll add eventually. Because tbh, starting with nothing but a black base for the avatar AND the clothes is a bit tedious. Like...having the black clothes to help people learn the ins and outs of the dye system? Fine. Having a black base and not much of a "newbie guide, click here first!" thread readily available for helpful information (like the fact that it's still a new site in beta testing and where to find the area to even add an avatar base...I found the base editing tab purely by chance) is....not ideal.
