Embarassing armour

I feel shame to walk around in the armour I have. I don't know what SE was thinking designing this stuff. Please, fix it, it's NOT armour I feel like a man running around in a bra and tiny shorts.

But don't you want to look fabulous?

No, I don't.

I actually appreciate that the armor in the game looks the same on both male and female characters (for the most part). I can't tell you how many times in other MMOs I've seen a neat looking set of armor only to find that the female version is a plate bikini.

Hey I'd be all for removing platekinis to make all armour look like armour and not weird and revealing.

I just bought my lvl 70 Bard PVP gear and I have a stupid lion on my lalafell now.

Who came up with this stuff

Agreed with sunarie! I really appreciate the choice of gender-equal sexiness in armor choices. I only know two other MMOs (FFXI and LotRO) that have the guts to do the same.

And if you are upset by the certain armor piece, the final boss in the same dungeon you got your sexy caster beachwear from (Dzemael Darkhold) drops Harlequin's acton which does not have the problem of skimpiness. The stats are comparable.

Yup! And I wouldn't want to see the skimpy armors removed. I like variety. I suppose a part of me has also grown a little bit callus when it comes to armor looks. Way back when being forced into nothing but lingerie outfits bugged me, and made me feel uncomfortable, but I dealt with it because a good game is still a good game. Now-a-days it doesn't bug me unless there's literally no other option, and even then it's more about lack of variety.

Either way, when I see someone complaining about male armor I tend to have little sympathy because it's a problem I've dealt with for over a decade now when concerning female armor, and it just isn't that big of a deal to have a few skimpy pieces when most things in this game are totally covering.

But I think head piece with /visor on lalafell is pretty epic :3
Going to get one for me.

this getting really old >.<
one says the starlight costume have no risque, and not skimpy santa top
the other says omg this coliseum subligar nearly expose my manly bits (if any)
its a game >.<
not really a point to argue since u'll not stuck with it for end game

anyone want to complaint about subligar?

eitherway, its only 3 lvl more to 50 and u'll get full covered robe

I agree, I think it's high time we objectify male gamers. It's a nice relief that will make the weak ones squirm, while the rest of us, comfortable with our sexuality, don't give a rats ass.

I'm fine with revealing. Show see some skin bro.

Feel the loving stroke of my female gaze. Nice isn't it? ♥

I don't see the problem, my scholar wears coliseum garb as a constant. Even into Crystal Tower. Their highest item level in it is 64. But then, gear and skill compliment eachother as is evidenced by those people that beat Titan Hard in bikinis.

This is a bad thing? I love my mankini collection!

But I suppose they should have alternatives for the more modest gentleman.

I agree with OP, some really bad armours to level up in, maybe more variety is needed?

Didn't you know? The skimper the gear appearance the better the gear is...

screenshot?

nothing is worse than AF2 :( pink ugh....

Hey at least Healer's Culottes are not briefs. I'd love it if they covered more on my character. Don't like the top? Its only three more lvls-wear a robe, which is what I did on whm. I have friends who refuse to wear subligar regardless of weather its BiS. I have others who go out of their way to wear subligar even if it isn't BiS. But if they are going to put skimpy gear in the game, (and coliseum gear/neo darkhold drops are something that there was a lot of discussion about back in 1.0) then I want them to keep it skimpy on everyone, regardless of gender.

They do have alternatives. The Harlequin gear, for example, though that's a bit worse, stat-wise. He could also continue using the Woolen Bilaud. Or, considering his level, he could upgrade to the Felt Robe or the Woolen Cowl(which is actually better than what he's wearing).

I'm very happy for once, men get skimpy sexy outfits! I feels nice being equals in that department! XD

My Roe is wearing a harness, thigh boots, and a skirt. The boots have hot pink stitching on the back.

Came here for WHM AF/AF2 pants.. Pls fix... ;-;

Be happy you don't have to wear Trashcan armour. Now THAT's embarrassing.

Not sure what they were thinking when they just reskinned low level gear for PVP.

Half the fun of new content is the gear accompanying it. This game still only has, what? 3 unique high level armor sets per class?

Well at least you managed to look somewhat hot on this pic.

Regardless of gender, you wear your damn battle panties with pride!!

You're right. It's nothing to do with your pouty midlander lips, that dusting of eye shadow, or your meticulously-sculpted, highlighted hair. You'd look like such the rough and ready manbeast if it weren't for the shirt.

yay i want more skimpy male armours! I'd be happy running around in a thong

But I still feel embarassed though. I wish something else would drop for me with equal stats and normal looking. People say 3 more levels but it can take me a week to get them. And what if nothign else drops? I'd have to walk around like this until the white mage trainer gives me a freebie WHM coat.

I ran into this outfit awhile back...had to take a picture since it was so lovely :)

That top doesn't look as terrible on him, I think it's because he's dark so it's not as obvious and he doesn't have tiny, white shorts.
