Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

No, it was a direct result of speedruns that progressively became easier and easier to do as our gear increases. It's power creep.

I hate the mass pull meta. The only class that has anything "dynamic" to do is the tank handling the aggro and properly balancing CDs. DPS are forced to smash their one or two AoE skills or be "bad". Healers are often left either doing exactly the same one button AoE spam or, if they're *lucky* that day, desperately over exert themselves to keep a lackluster tank that's overcompensating alive. Or be the one blamed or kicked if tank dies.

There is nothing remotely entertaining about that. Especially when alternative of regular pulls still lets you play rotations and while moving along quickly. It's just impatient people being so enabled to play the game in the most monotonous way possible because meta demands it.

People were mass pulling back in ARR. The whole reason gates were gated throughout Heavensward because people could do insane chain pulls in Brayflux Hard.

Single pack pulls are insufferably boring for me on healers imo. I literally serve no purpose except to spam Stone IV, which essentially makes me an inferior DPS. At least with mass pulls, I will rotate between Holy spam and healing. Power creep has nothing to do with dungeons. They're simply extremely undertuned. Both Hell's Lid and Fractal are set at ilvl 310 and drop 225 gear. The gear we had last cycle is already 30 ilvs above the supposed "Expert" dungeons. That's what allows speedrunning. Look no further than PotD where the higher floors smack you into the ground for daring to chain pull like a reckless fool. If you want the speedrun meta to die, advocate for dungeons to draw inspiration of PotD.

Ultimate Coil was way too easy to be considered Ultimate.

Out of curiosity, what's your reasoning?

My unpopular reasoning is that most of the time, is the gay people asking for this, wanting to be more skimpy than they already can be with actual glams. Being gay myself this hurts me because I don't like in general how people can over sexualize their characters, I personally always think "do they go irl dressed like that?". I mean, ofc it's a game and you can do whatever you want to your character, but I think some people just go too far with that. I know for sure if they add a male bunny outfit, everyone, literally, will be using it. And it's gonna be disgusting. I know my opinion might be harsh, but I always think if they have some dignity when they go around dressed like something like that, or with fluorescent colours or weird makeup. We are supposed to be Warriors of Light, not Warriors of the Alley.

Is this notion exclusive to just the male bunny outfit or do you have a problem with the female bunny outfit too?

Male outfit. I think I don't have such problem with the female version because 1) it got released so long ago that many girls already don't use it, 2) I don't tend to look in game to female chars, 3) those kind of costumes are like... "made to be for females". They look good on girls, they look acceptable on girls. In guys just don't.

That's an opinion based on your socialization. Personally, I think they look stupid and if you're asking someone from an orthodox religious socialization, it's completely unacceptable for a women to wear such a thing. Burqa is the female clothing of choice there. At some point, people thought women shouldn't wear trousers. And then you go back to ancient rome and men wore what would classify as dresses nowadays. Men in stockings? Middle ages go you covered.

I just crack everything that I think looks weird up to a different socialization at this point. Gee, some people are wearing jeans that are purposely torn nowadays! You were considered filthy if you showed up in such a thing in my youth, now it's fashionable >_>

Maybe I'm too old school, but the idea of having a male bunny outfit or whatever skimpy kind of glamour makes me sick.

To be fair, Romans didn't wear the equivalent of 'dresses'. They wore armour (ceremonial or otherwise) that was designed in such a way as to highlight the male form. It wasn't done to highlight femininity...and I won't go into detail as to what feminine men were considered to be the equivalent of in Roman times as I'd rather avoid a ban.

Now, as for the bunny outfit? I don't want it to be feminine. I want it to highlight the male form in a way that celebrates masculinity rather femininity. If it doesn't do that, I'll be disappointed...but at this point in time it simply needs to be added as it's been a ridiculous amount of time since it was first announced and valuable Q&A space will be wasted so long as it keeps being delayed. If nothing else, people should be able to make their own versions if the ears are available.

[Lauront]

Roman togas are far older than "dresses". I mean is a soyboy in jeans more "masculine" than a Roman soldier in a toga?

lmao

I still don't get why "it needs to be added". It's not a necessity, and it won't highlight any masculinity because bunnies aren't meant to be masculine, they have always been associated to cute things, something weak and adorable. It's just weird beyond limits.
