    Just another piece of equipment that, for no reason whatsoever, they decided would be exclusive to their race.
    Doesn't change that at the end of the day, the starting gear for the races is intended to come off as garments that reflect an aspect of their culture (however small we have of it) and likely the race's homeland. The devs made that design choice, whether you like it or not. Do you not acknowledge cultural clothing in real life, too?

    Also, I like that you completely dodged calling you out on labeling me a hypocrite.

    I've got to be honest. This argument is just as silly as when people tried to say AF gear would never be dyeable.

    Once again, I'm stating why I think it would be a disappointment if RSE lost its racial exclusivity.

    Am I saying it shouldn't be, or that everyone should be agreeing with me? No, I'm only stating my own opinion.
    Am I saying it won't ever be? No, read my posts instead of trying to criticize me based off your own conclusion.

    Or have I missed a new forum rule that says you can't have differing opinions?

    But what are you basing this assumption on? I don't see anything in the game to indicate that the races dress the way they do because of culture. You keep repeating this argument but there's no source for it whatsoever other than how you perceive it. You should stop treating your opinion as fact.

    Real life? I'm sorry, this is a fantasy game. I don't buy into the selected realism argument so you might want to try another approach. If we got into a realism debate I could easily justify removing half the contents of this game.

    Does it need explaining? I didn't think it worth a response. Whether you agree or not is something I honestly couldn't give seven shades of excrement about.

    Come on now, really. This is really hypocritical. You've done nothing but belittle other people's opinions. You're the only person I've seen going out of their way to do what you're complaining about being done to you.
