And i don't know why people are still complaining about this. The models were changed on purpose and nothing short of an extensive graphical update would say otherwise. The models are designed to be clothed, and thats what the dev team is (and should be) focusing their attention.

I do agree that the models had to be changed to get ARR out on time, and that it would be a pretty extensive update due to having to refit leg gear. The models are meant to be clothed, but very often leg equipment is very tight and meant to compliment the physique, but the actual physique being complimented is off just enough that everything looks a little awkward from many angles. Every (I think) new piece of leg gear that wasn't already in 1.x is covered nearly entirely by the body piece of the same set, or it's a skirt that matches the old proportions enough to be worn with body gear and not look awkward. Shirt-type equipment flairs out at the hip much further than the current hip-shape would naturally allow unless you go out of your way to find a skirt to wear under it to hide the gap. A glaring example of the problem can be seen by wearing any set of the coatee-styled gear for crafting. Even the skirt that was made to be worn with it doesn't fill the giant gap left by the reduction.

I'm not saying it's urgent or needs to be fixed right now (though sooner would help me to enjoy the content they add while I'm playing it) but I must point out that the presentation is off and the fact that it was rushed is apparent to those who will see it. I just want it to be updated, even if it's pretty far down the road or after the 1st expansion. I do love this game more than any other mmo, despite flaws I might point out so I won't be going to another game. I just want the best to be brought back to my favorite game.
