No more skimpy mogs for you

As per an article over in reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/a4w3ux/chinas_ethics_board_reviews_20_popular_online/

World of Warcraft (Blizzard) - Overly revealing female characters, inharmonious chatroom.

Only in China though will Blizz might make the change. I don’t think they will doing anything in the U.S

Since when is China ever the paragon of morality?

Should likely change clickbait title to ‘No more skimpy mogs for China’ then.

Which would be true but they gotta have that clickbait to spark more outrage. :stuck_out_tongue: WoWs been heavily censored in China for years this is really nothing new. The other versions will most likely be fine and do it’s own thing as other countries have their own respective versions of games. It isn’t tumblr where it’s being heavily censored to appease one country and apple [due to ducking at controlling certain bots and edgy kids posting racist BS to troll frequenters]

Noooooo not my slooty mog!

The most likely thing to happen is they will just censor the current skimpy stuff, then never in the future design anything skimpy to keep their workload down. That way they don’t have to design 2 different sets of every armor.

China’s sexuality shaming effects everybody really…

Asia in general idealizes and uses sex appeal more then anyone else. If blizz goes full censorship ill quit forever.

I like skimpy fantasy armor. Whats wrong with player choice? Make a nice big library of models of every variety and let players go nuts. Thats the point of xmog like features.

Demolition man quote darnit.

Can’t make me put a shirt on.

It’s sad that this is really a thing in a video game.

So no bikini mogs from the ashara raid…

They already have a censored game version for China, where bones are not shown. I’d imagine that adding in a black body suit to fill in the gaps for whatever skimpy armor we get here would not be an impossibility. We still get bone things and armorkinis here, they get a different looking version of those things there.

Never thought of that. That raid would have been full of skimpy mogs but that all might change now.

What are some recent skimpy mogs? I thought they pretty much stopped when a devs daughter asked why the Night Elves where in bikini’s.

To be fair, the women in WoW are all too old for China, they like the skimpy on the young…

OK kidding… sorta, they do have a whole thing about that going on. Maybe Blizzard can compromise and promise to make all the eyes on female characters 10x bigger, that should do it for them.

Most recent is the questing armor we got this expansion. Skimpy on both males and females too. :slight_smile:

I wonder if all those Warlock Succubi and Shivarra pets will be forced to cover up?

Would make certain Warlocks very sad indeed.

The chinese WoW client also apparently censors skulls. That definitely hasn’t stopped Blizzard from putting skulls in environment models and gear.

Well most of the BfA Horde leveling sets, depending on your definition of skimpy.
