Gender change and Mog Station items

[Bearded]

Gender restricted Mog station gear, unlike "generic" gear actually looks very different based upon the gender. You pay your $$$ and get the look you want with the knowledge that it is restricted to that character and that gender.

If you then decide to change genders then sorry - if you want the vanity items also you have to cough up the extra. Just like if you went through it in RL and ball gowns or tuxedos cost a lot.

But I could wear high heels and a dress if I wanted in real life, right? Also, tuxedos and gowns can be bought on Mog Station through the Eternal Bond and traded ingame for free. Also, some items are race locked now and no one expected that. If I wanted to play a Lala but keep my items I would still be able to choose a male, same with Roe, Elezen and the rest. That will not be possible in two days' time.

Wait we got new racial gear? Nobody told me!
I love racial gear! (I'm sorry for your frustration)

Think about that line though.
Extended use on your character. Then you change your character.

I am of the opinion that anything with both gender options (some don't have such), it should absolutely be exchangeable. But I also won't throw a fit about it because I know how these things be and SE likes money.

All the more reason to do something about it. If you think they are doing something wrong, tell them. You might change the game for the better.

Yeah, that was really poorly worded, sorry. I meant some races are locked out of certain outfits. You could see every race wearing Lightning gear, but you won't have that option with Hrothgars.

This has to be some of the most twisted nonsensical "logic" I've seen. The whole point of purchasing these outfits is for them to have extended use on your character for the foreseeable future. They clearly don't if you change gender, especially if you happen to prefer your change. Calling this buyer's remorse or "throwing a tantrum" is blatantly white knighting SE, especially considering they already allow you to swap some outfits... just conveniently not the expensive ones. Granted, I wager this is more an oversight than necessarily greed. Regardless, the OP, and others in their position, want the full value of their purchase. Being told you must remain male or female otherwise said purchase is rendered item bloat until you switch back means they are inherently losing value.

It's a simple fix at the end of the day. The OP isn't asking for a refund. They want the equivalent outfit for their soon-to-be female character.

Really well expressed. Thanks for your support and understanding.

I created a new thread to support and move forward a petition to implement gear trade. Please, everyone, feel free to show your support there if you are in favour of this suggestion.
