It’s 2021 now and we still do not have Race Restrictions REMOVED from Hempen Clothes

[GrizzlyTank]

I'm of the mind that we need more race specific gear, not less. Trust me, Miqo and Au Ra in particular both have hempen pieces I would love to have for my character, but I would much rather have them work on entirely new sets instead.

That being said, you won't hear any gripes from me about restriction removal from just these particular sets of gear as they are just glamour items.

Arbitrary restrictions in terms of cosmetics just ends up feeling like a punishment for not picking the "right" race, without giving any reasonable advantages.

I honestly agree here. I've never been a fan of race/gender restricted anything as it doesn't really add anything to the experience for anyone, except the people playing the race. Not to mention SE is terrible about making hideous race clothing ( Looking at you Lala, Roe and Hroth )and end up getting left out in the rain when everyone else got good designs. Remove the restrictions and lets move on.

People often will use lore and immersion/thematics to defend keeping things restricted, but we already have so much immersion-breaking content in the game that I really don't see how a Hyur wearing a Hrothgar outfit is any worse. We have flying Bear mounts with Santa hats, flying giraffes, pig costumes, and this is just right off the top of my head lol.

Speak for yourself.
I love the Lala outfits. They're adorable.

I wouldn't mind this, but I don't think Viera and Hrothgar sharing theirs with Midlander and Roe is a particularly convincing reason for this to happen.

It's not like we have our own sets in addition to the Midlander and Roe ones, we got hand-me-downs because they couldn't be bothered or ran out of time.

It's not exactly a privilege and just highlights the half-baked nature of these 2 races even more.

Viera/Hrothgar not getting unique hempen is just further proof they probably would prefer not to do any new unique racial gear. I think more so because of the sheer amount of gear they'd have to design.

It does highlight their limitations, just that bit more. They got the bare minimum, pretty much.

I find this thread comical. Thank you for the laugh. What exactly does the year have to do with anything? You will always have race restrictions on those items because SE, the company that develops this game wants it to be that way. I know its hard when you can't complain and have things change the way you want them to. That is life.

I imagine it would also significantly cut into the time they're able to spend designing more umbrellas and short spiky haircuts and that's just not a world I want to live in.

Oh God, don't remind me.. Sometimes I really question their priorities. Granted those were (are) probably in the works for awhile.. still over all the other things they could do...

It basically means "look how far we have come as a society and how many equality issues we've solved, how does this inequality still exist?"

People actually think this is an inequality that has to be resolved? (Zenos voice) Pathetic.
