Gender Locked Gear

[Ziyaal]

Why do you guys gender lock gear? I've put up with this for a while but when you gender lock hats, things start feeling a little bit overly discriminatory. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a "male" and "female" version of the Feathered Flat Hats given as rewards for the Valentione's Day quest? It's absurd. I take personal offense to this as someone who identifies as a member of the GLBT community. Other MMO's allow any character to dress in ANY gear they want regardless of gender. MMOs are about self expression. Who are you to dictate how people express themselves? Also, it seems that the female toons are allowed to wear much of the "male" gear (though not all of it I'll admit) while the males can't wear female pieces at all and that is blatant discrimination. If female toons can wear items traditionally for men, the male toons should be able to also don a dress or bunny ears should they so desire. This time you've gone too far, SE. Fix this.
