    i suppose the 2B outfit was the exception that proves the rule.
    All npc outfits are gender locked. I don't know why people are still surprised by this.

    Removing the gender lock also does nothing for most people playing male characters since it's only a very small portion of the community who even want to make their male characters wear a dress in the first place. We're told that it brings 'more options' to the table yet in reality all it really does is take further development time away from making things that most people playing male characters want to wear.

    But I thought everyone wanted male bunny outfits and dresses. That's what the forums lead me to believe anyway.

    For whatever reason the development team overlooked the fact that a lot of people requesting the bunny outfit actually just wanted it converted into something that wasn't just a straight up copy of the female outfit. Much like how they overlooked the requests for Hien's hair to be added along with his outfit. Oh well...

    I've long wondered if there's a problem somewhere in the pipeline where translated requests are concerned.

    I quite often see posts that I agree with - as far as the initial premise goes - but then people start ranting and being abusive towards the devs, and it really puts my back up. I heartily agree that more male outfits should be a thing (along with no gender locking because I'd love the Hien outfit for Elai) I also agree that housing needs work, for example, but I can't get behind posts that are all 'wtf SE' and 'Devs are stupid' (and that's the milder stuff...)

    Are people really so self centred and rude that they think yelling and abuse is the way to behave. If I worked for SE, I'd be crossing out several items on my to-do list right about now
    I'm generally of the belief that if people are so angry at the development team that they'd yell at them over something then they should probably reflect on that and depart the game altogether. When I became frustrated with WoW that's exactly what I did. In general, though, people are much more willing to listen to civil requests than hostile ones.

    I wouldn't mind the Scion Liberator outfit (Lyse's vest/shorts/armored boots) being gender unlocked. It's relatively gender neutral and I'd definitely use the top at the very least on my character.

    How many men am I involved with? Well that depends... do you mean men as in males? Or just midlanders?
