I call it petty because it was a comment born out of spite toward a group of people they perceive as "entitled snowflakes" (their words). As in, they came into the thread for the express purpose of being spiteful while criticizing someone else for coming into the thread just to rain on someone else's parade. Neither are a good look, which is the only reason I posted at all.
Frankly I don't think it's a good look to just paint a group of people as ungrateful brats undeserving of anything either. Are some people like that? Yeah sure. But are we really gonna sit here and say "SE should never make any changes like this because people are gonna want more of the same changes they were already asking for? I mean, look at the person that was originally quoted. They even came in to defend their position by stating that their thoughts on this have not changed. Removing one gender lock is a step in the right direction (imo), but there are still a lot more in the game, so of course people who had a problem with that are going to still have a problem with it because it hasn't changed. This isn't a give an inch, take a mile thing. It's more of a we asked for a few meters, and we got an inch but would still like the few meters kinda thing.
Personally I'm happy that they're starting to make these changes at all. You'll notice that I myself haven't posted a single complaint in this thread or in response to this one restriction being removed. I'm freaking psyched that I'm going to be able to wear the suit when I eventually switch back to a female character. I LOVE girls in suits. And I'm really happy to have another option.
I don't want to say anything in a non nice way. But I will say that spiteful attitudes from either side really don't do anyone any good, and it genuinely makes me unhappy to see posts like that. That it isn't even an argument of not agreeing because of a difference in philosophy or preference, but that it comes down to a jaded view of a group of people - no matter how deserved it may seem, and no matter how many people actually deserve it. It just makes the forums a less pleasant place to be, and doesn't really leave much room for discussion.
I've seen a couple of people around with bits and pieces. Saw a really cute male Miqo glamour the other day where it was the ala mhigan gown dyed pink and the wedding veil as the helmet. I'm looking forward to seeing more of what people can do with that set ^^
