If I see a female toon decked out in garters and panties, big hair - it’s 99% guaranteed it’s a guy playing that toon. Maybe 99.9%
I’m tired of you complaining about armor practicality in a fantasy game where you have a cosmetic system that lets you override the look in the first place.
Talk about ridiculous.
I want skimpy male armour and a slider scale for their package. Stockings and undies are so comfy!
Okay but don’t get me started on my Death Knight in full plate armor still having bouncy physics
I just have to say that I love your character. First undead I’ve ever seen that was really lovely!
I have the opposite problem. I want panties and garter and stockings for my male toons.
Are you telling me that all the flirtatious female characters in this game are really MEN?! What- i- you…I can’t… Noooo!
Full armor looks good on females. Too bad the nerd/dork stuff is still around.
One of my favourite female-centric armour details are the Sisters of Battle from the Warhammer story.
I would love the ability to choose between this version and the male (Santa suit) version on my female characters. I don’t want to take away anyone’s choice - I want to add MORE choice!
Back during Cataclysm my guild was raiding Dragon Soul. My husband played a male Paladin and the tier set for Paladins from that dungeon looked insanely nice. I wanted it for my female paladin. My female paladin has to wear a shirt under it because it’s a midriff top.
Again, give me the choice. Let me wear the full version OR the skimpy version. I don’t want to take away anything from anybody. I simply want to wear an armor skin I really like in a way that suits the character in question. My paladin is Protection and not having full-coverage armor messes with that class fantasy to me.
Agreed 100%. Also, what’s up with female characters being in a string bikini when all their gear is removed but male characters having excessively long shorts? Bring on the speedos for dudes and a “more coverage” option for dudettes.
I’m all for options on both sides!
There are a few sets that offer the option of a robe or a tunic (off the top of my head: the blood elf heritage set, and also the night fae covenant armor). Why can’t they also offer more skimpy/less skimpy options?
I don’t care that skimpy transmogs exist or who wears them or why. I just want more options for everyone and I don’t want especially nice-looking armor skins locked to one or the other (like with my paladin example above).
Nope everything must be sexualized because that’s real empowerment to women (said no sane human ever)
…mmkay
Putting a corset on underneath Slave Leia’s bikini doesn’t make it less dorky.
Are blind poster? Most of wows actual in game armor models are fully covering or really low texture. The game has been around for 15 plus years. There’s a handful of skimpy stuff locked behind armor type (Leather has 2 skimpy legs only for example) .
Xmog means you have the options to make your armor show up however you want. If you dislike skimpy fantasy armor just xmog out of it when you get it.
Wow is willing to use sex appeal to promote and drag players in. But when it comes to what players actually can have themselves it’s very limited.
As a druid most of your mogs are not skimpy. So you have nothing to complain about.
what corset? doesn’t exist in wow for players. The closest thing in game for players to the slave girl bikini of lea is the AQ cloth skimpy robes. But armor type restrictions and they are low texture quality.
Wow doesn’t have anywhere near the amount of skimpy stuff people cry about.
Personal opinion we can all win with tmog. Just have a nice even split of skimpy, none skimpy, and inbetween models and let players choose.
Not WoW. The Sister of Battle uniform in WH40k. It is a metal bikini over a corset and thigh high boots. I took umbrage with the assertion that it was deemed “practical” for combat just because it doesn’t show skin.
Subjective opinion mate. I like my fantasy bikinis/loincloths.
/Checks profile
Yep. Checks out.
Actually there is an over abundance of full on armor. So this is a good suggestion.
This is called [inappropriate word] shaming. Which has proven extremely damaging to young girls. Mentally and even physically in some cases. What a woman wears ingame should be up to the player. Also what she wears irl.
Don’t push misogynistic, controlling behavior for a video game please. Don’t try to undermine women. It is also called, “bullying” in layman’s terms.
I want to tell you a story. This is a true story:
I was speaking with a woman who was in her 60’s. She told me she worked on Harley Davidson vehicles most of her life. You can tell by the age when she was working in that field she was heavily discriminated against. (she talked about that a bit with me too) She even told me women in the 70’s were looked at weird, (as it wasn’t completely accepted still) if they rode a bike without a man period. I am not entirely sure if that point was true but 70’s…I could see it. Anyways she told me she made a name for herself and she was a great mechanic. She is still till this day respected among that community. The point of this story is she told me repeatedly , let me overemphasize repeatedly, she had to strip herself of all her femininity to even get any acknowledgement in that field. For her to express this several times I could tell it bothered her. She lived her life for what other misogynistic, controlling men thought was the standard for her to be accepted in the community. (Also be known as a competent mechanic)
You have plenty of other mogs to choose from.
I miss all the sexy mogs in Tera, and I only get to wear these Red Winter clothes for a couple weeks. We have very few sexy options, and only a handful to even show our legs in this game. Sad so sad.
I appreciate the agreement, however…
No, don’t bring that into this because is not about that at all. No matter if you or the OP want to gender this for opposite reasons, it has nothing do with that.
And even if I don’t agree with the OP, this has nothing to do with misogyny.
Bringing up an anecdote won’t make it about that either. This is just an opinion over pixels in a video game.
P.S.: I’m a woman who has been raised in a household full of strong women who is also sick and tired of seeing the word misogyny thrown around so easily.
