While I don’t agree with them not adding missing gender support to existing clothes from the last time this event was around, I acknowledge that doing it now could add development time to items that already existed in the past; however, I still think that it’s a good effort worth doing.

What I can’t see them successfully defending for any reason is why there are now -newer- clothes added that -also- are arbitrarily restricted by gender, which is really lame and unfortunate considering how visually unique the two are; what excuse is there, if such a one exists, for the new gear sets not being made for both male and female characters?
