    But please leave that stuff out of this game. It's getting old seeing these petty requests appear over and over on the forums.
    No. Games do not exist in a vacuum. The "real world" effects video games and video games effect the "real world".

    And dealing with actual sexism is not petty. Yes being okay with women wearing pants and suits while not being okay with men wearing dresses and skirts is sexist.

    This concept is petty compared to other quality of life concerns for this game. A "glamour" is not something that is going to directly affect the gameplay. Developer's should focus on the important game related items. If they bend to everyone's whim, then the game is going to go down hill due to the fact you can not please everyone.

    Some of us play this game specifically for glamour and collecting items and outfits. Like seriously my end game involves me dressing up my characters in cute outfits. Yours may be about doing pvp or coil or whatever. Not everyone plays the game for the same reason.

    Also customization does seem to be important game related things if they keep giving us new hairstyles and outfits. Nothing wrong with asking for more just like how people constantly ask for harder content, more balanced pvp, etc... It's all still content either way.

    I don't see why people are getting so defensive over this. If you don't want to wear it you don't have to, why is it a problem that people want an outfit for their characters? People ask for things on the forums all the time and if you don't want it on your character then that just means you're content with what you got and it's no big deal.

People like glamours, and honestly if they just focus on "important game related items" then why bother making glamour at all. They make glamour to add fun and different gear to the game, they shouldn't go half way and make things exclusive to one option. People would be upset if gear was exclusive to Midlanders, a "They should focus on other things because not everyone would want it" isn't a valid point.
