Where and when did they state this? Can you provide a source? And ppl are unhappy because they are entitled brats.

Why? Because reasons? Given that AF sets changing appearance based on gender is a trend that goes all the way back to ARR, why are you or anyone surprised/disappointed by this?

It is quite simple, really. The dev team are under no restrictions that prevent them from designing gear specific for males and females, or race as they see fit. Even if they did state that they would no longer lock gear behind gender, that does not apply in this case as the gear isn't technically gender locked. Understand that you or anyone who has a problem with this, that problem belongs to the person complaining. Not the game or the dev team.

I already know the argument of pig suits, tanking in a bikini, bunnies, and silliness are well on their way. Save them until I can grab my violin.
