    Miqo'te Tail Armor

    I had someone make an interesting complaint today in the LS, they were all decked out in armor and concerned that their tail was just there, unarmored. I believe it was half hearted or in jest but an idea sprung from that. I think it would be very interesting to have an option to have Miqo'te tail armor along with plate or scale armor. An example would be:

    A full set of armor going down the tail.

    Or a partial set of armor going down the part of the tail, mainly at the base.

    Another image of tail armor used in Dinotopia.

    Just a thought something fun and perhaps we can have a display toggle for those who do not want it to show. Though I think if done right would look amazing!

    Note I understand there are more important concerns at the moment but I wanted to get this idea posted. Thank you.

    The problem of this suggestion is the usability of it. I bet these armor are for a game where they use the tail to fight.

    But I would love race-specific gear slots tho...like miqo'te having tail/ear slots, elezens and lalafats having 4 earring slots, highlanders having nosering/thumbring slots...and roes could have arm bracelets and midlanders could have ankle bracelets...would be awesome! ^^

    Sorry I mean't it to be more specific, I mean that it should be connected with your body armor. Like if you put on plate, then it goes down your tail as well, not a specific slot for it ^^, and not additional armor bonus. Just for looks.

    Tbf the extra slot is a nice idea for PS3 time maybe as something to look forwards too.

    But yeah even if its cosmetic some if not most armour should have tail armour on, it would look better imo for the more defensive gear like plate.
