10-30-2015, 09:49 AMEloahI'm not sure how this will sound, but based on everything you've said it somewhat feels like you are missing the point, somewhat. People aren't upset that female only gear exists, they are upset that their aren't an equal/equivalent amount of male specific gear, and that gear designed to be the "male" version are being made unisex. And while you are correct in stating that the inspiration for a lot of the glamour gear comes from real life, remember that in real life we aren't limited like we are in the game; we arent "told" we can't wear a shirt because it's female only. Remember, there are plenty of males fashions all over the world that some cultures might view as "feminine", like how Scotland has kilts.Quote:

Or a bandage outfit; which reminds me of a mummy, lol. -

10-30-2015, 10:30 AMColorfulWhy would anyone be happy that's it not female only when it was originally (planned to be?) male only? That makes no sense, there was no possibility they'd remove it from males.Quote:

10-30-2015, 10:53 AMNoxiferTBH, the Spring Dress set would have been perfect to combine with a 19th (or early 20th) century frock coat as the male-only option...Quote:

It seems that many others have echoed what I would have said in response (Particularly Serilda, thank you), so I shall agree with them instead of simply writing down everything as it would be the same thing, except in my own words.
That said:
This makes absolutely no sense. If its 100% unisex, there is not unfair numbers as EVERYONE has access to everything. They could make it so that the Ti Leaf Lei has a top for females, much like swimsuits do. It would still be distinct in that it has the necklace part, making it a unique item compared to a pure swimsuit top.Quote:

This gear is a recolor of previous dungeon gear. That gear looks terrible on this race or class. That is a subject for another thread, not this one. -

That already exists. Coronal Summer Halter. It's the female-only equivalent of the Ti Leaf Lei.
Female-only and Male-only are fair if there are equivalents. It's when there are no equivalents that you run into problems.
