    You aren't looking hard enough, there are plenty of masculine glamours. Some come from lower level dungeons, some come from older tome/seals, glamours vary from levels 1-60.

    Also masculine is subjective. Some people believe masculine wearing only a speedo, while others think professional looking attire such as black suit with a clean haircut.

    What is it that you are looking for?

    im not the op but i agree with his sentiment. for what it's worth, neither of those strike me as masculine. wearing only a speedo strikes me as too european (im from southern california. we go swimming a lot. not even our homosexuals wear speedos.) and a black suit and clean haircut is formal attire only.

    a real masculine look to me is less of a style and more of a lack of a style. a masculine look is when function dictates form. the clothes you wear are dictated wholly by the actions you intend to take. you aren't to look pretty, you are here to get shit done. it takes a masculine man at most 15 minutes to get ready in the morning. any longer than that and he's either sleeping in the shower or i start making character judgments.

    So low level gear? It lacks style, it's boring, it's easy to put on, easy to obtain and to easy to go out in.

    I prefer my high level stuff to be more out there and creative than being stuck to making specific masculine gear for men. I like the pretty and out there fantasy themed gear on my dragonboy.
    low level gear is lower in visual quality too. there are some good sets for high level characters. they're called tank sets. the war set looks great. the drk set looks great. the pld set looks pretty good but i think it looks a little goofy. these are well-designed sets. i did prefer AF1 to AF2 for PLDs because AF2 for plds looks too idk, like it has a cape that's artificially stapled to your ass. WAR armor consistently looks like something a fighter might wear. it has plate and fur to keep you warm. DRK gear this time around really matches the lore of the class in that you're so tired with the nonsense surrounding being a hero that you've ceased bothering to repair your armor so now its all rusty and falling apart.

    summoner gear on the other hand makes you look like you're intentionally inviting sexual attention. not a real big fan of the summoner set this time around. bare midriff, random butt wings, looks less like something you'd wear in a fight and more like something else.

    I love the summoner set, very pretty, fancy and very fantasy like. Like you've risen above humanity and you're some angelic diety with tons of power. I think it fits summoner pretty well.

    That's cool. But I don't think the thread is about liking pretty sets. It's about asking for more masculine sets. Which I understand is subjective, but perhaps the devs can make multiple masculine sets? Make masculine sets from NA, EU, JP and different parts of those places -- everyone's standard of masculine can be implemented into the game. I think what I consider masculine is lacking in the game. More variety never hurts. I'm not sure why some people are so against it.

    This is effectively meaningless. Like. None of what you said here actually says anything of worth.

    i think what you mean is that you don't understand what i meant, so i'll try again:

    i want more sets that look "functional". i want sets that look less ceremonial. i want sets that look rusty, or dented, or relaxed in nature. sets that look practical. im not entirely saying realistic, because it's fantasy, but when a character looks "too pretty", they lose their appeal to me.

    I get some of that from the toga part, but I feel like the implementation is too fetish-y. Not a real big fan of the bare midriff or the butt wings. I'd tone those down. If you're gonna take off your shirt, just take off your shirt.
