Women and Armor!

[Ophie-Mio]

If they dislike the gear for the way it is, then they really don't consider it a "nice piece of gear" but rather are trying to push their own agenda instead of appreciating the art for what it is, and what it was intended to be.

You are never at ANY point in this game EVER forced to wear revealing armor.

That's not true. If you want the best stats available for the current level, you're gonna be forced into wearing certain pieces. In my earlier post, it's the coliseum shawl... People posted alternatives but that didn't actually make them better. The coliseum shawl is always gonna be better than the Harlequin acton. If I want the best stats, I'm forced into the shawl or I'm gimp.

I still don't get why you're so obsessed with the midriff on the female version of the Dragoon armor too, while completely neglecting that the entire freaking armor set, regardless of gender, is incredibly impractical. It's also pretty damn tame too. Lets get real here, it's literally just a belly. Both men and women have them. What is the problem?

They are obsessed with it because it's the poster child of the man/female armor debate. The debate isn't about the practicality of the armor (which is something way different) but of the whim of the developers to give the males a fully covered stomach and for some reason a belly window for the females.

At the heart of the debate isn't about whether anything is tame or not...it's the choice that (for example) a female DRG should be able to play in the DRG AF without the belly window. It's the choice that the coatee on girls doesn't have to be super revealing.

It's literally about the choice.

The worst part is that you completely ignore that there are revealing sets in the game for men too.

Yeah, and they aren't complaining about it so why bring it up? If they decided that they hated the necklaces and stuff and started to complain about it, then bring up this point.
