5.2 Crafted Gear: Gender Locked Alterations

[Opalarie]

I'm going to say it... I hate it. I do not like being forced into a skirt. Which totally sucks because of all the released sets in this patch, the crafted gear tanking set is the best looking tanking set but as a female, I will be forced to wear a frilly damn skirt JUST because I'm FEMALE, with no choice in the matter...

NO! THANKS!

It's a good looking set. Congrats on the designer, truly, but forcing an entire half of a population into something JUST because of the gender they are is NOT cool when there are options they would prefer in that same set.

In this case you can't blame se for the genderlock. Normally you can totally blame them and they would deserve it, but in this case they are being true to the winning design that won the contest.

Content before Cosmetics and you're not forcerd to wear it, glam over it.

Everytime I see these type of threads its always the same thing. People are mad about outfits, but if they put more effort into outfits over playable content same people would complain about that, it never ends.

The issue is that I WANT to wear the male tanking variant. THAT one looks better, in my opinion, and there is nothing aside from SE making it so that I cannot, simply because my model is female.

What I am being forced to wear is a skirt simply because my model happens to be female. THIS is the objection. Nothing about me, or my character, would charge teaming hordes and masses in a frilly skirt and being forced to wear the variant simply because of the gender of my model is ridiculous!

From the content designers perspective, on numerous accounts, they don't care so long as their content gets SEEN! Gets enjoyed! If I had that Male variant, I know I would rock that look until it needed to be put down because it's just that awesome and would look that good on this toon.

Freedom to wear the new pants!

SEs resources is limited, Yoshi P has stated this multiple times, and even if they weren't is development is always geared towards playable content, and the crafted set for tanks is on a Male not a female, So thats how the set looks on both gender..........soooo

Edit: Seemingly the same for The Tome gear as well. R u trolling fam?

This thread again, eh?

In the image, you have a Roe male striking set, which shares the same styles typically with Aiming sets with slight color variant and as you can see, the male version is a suit, the female variant is a frilly skirt...
The same with casters. DPS casters and healing casters have the same models but its a typical color variation and, again, suit on a male, frilly skirt on female...
The plate sets are displayed by the GNB Male and the LNC female on the end which also have similar looks but different color variants, typically. The Male has the super sleek, awesome variant... The female variant of the plate armor is a frilly skirt...

My concern is valid as a pattern presents itself. ALL the females in the image are in a deviation of the frilly skirt model.

So you're making a basless assumption, ok

Good. I hope we get more genderlocked gear. I find that far more appealing that getting the same gear for both genders. Thats a lot more boring imo.
