Male Armor Sets too flamboyant. Bring full armor back!

[Kurogaea]

If you're that worked up over seeing fully clothed men in moderately laced/fastened corsets, I would hate to see you react to anything more vulgar than Care Bears. lol

Its not the fact that they're fully clothed, obviously. You do know what happens to your organs when you keep those laces on for too long as tight as they did in that last picture right? They all shift to your lower regions. For a guy it sounds just as horrifying X(

But what is tank gear supposed to look like? And how much should a tank be required to wear to visually qualify for their role? If you want to start getting into the realm of realism, no amount of armor would feasible protect you from most of the creatures we fight anyway so how little or how much anyone wears should make no difference (yeah that plate armor is going to do you a whole lot of good against something that blasts you with super-heated plasma or swats you with a paw the size of a sedan). But this isn't real life, it's a High Fantasy game so basic logic need not apply.

I just find it funny that people are fine with our characters being able to survive hits from things that would most certainly kill you in real life, but having armor that shows a little skin or doesn't look "tanky enough" is suddenly going too far and breaks immersion. Where's your consistency?

What? I never even said anything about reality now did I? All I said they're wearing gear that doesn't look tanky and I see what the OP is saying. As for an idea of tanky gear, I would probably talk about adamanite armor being probably the strongest metal, like Wolverine strong so it'd make sense if reality played a part though I don't care for it in my Fantasy RPG MMO. Though I do see people playing the reality card when some ask for child races in this game, or more bikini skin revealing armor in dungeons.
