Not even a remotely valid point. You never need "the best stats" and you most certainly never need the best stats for leveling content, at least in this game. You are not "forced" to wear it, you can in fact create a melded high quality item that is comparable to it if you really did care that much about stats. Not to mention you replace the bottom coliseum part literally the very next level when you get your AF at 45. So you're down to one single piece now, and even then it is not necessary, and if you are leveling your second (or more) 50, you can glamour over it.

One piece of gear is the difference between being the best and being gimp? Wow!

I really can't believe that you guys consider the belly window to be such a serious thing. There is barely anything even remotely sexual about it, which leaves the impracticality of it as the only valid argument against it. Since you said that it's not a matter of the practicality, or that it's still tame, how is it objectifying?

I don't disagree with having options, I just disagree with the mentality that this is sexist, objectifying, or wrong in any manner. The design is their artistic vision. Do you also (not just you, everyone on that side of the fence) consider nude classical art to be tasteless, sexist, or objectifying?

>Yeah, and they aren't complaining about it so why bring it up?

Because then it's a double standard.
