For the 129392831203123801 time. STOP IT with the genderlocked gear.

I stopped reading at "...doesn't really compare all that well to RL..."

Sorry, it should probably have said "doesn't really compare all that well to RL situations". The game does, after all, exist in real life. And it wasn't the characters lives I was comparing to our RL ones, but the issue of some players having less options based on what gender they chose to play as. Outside of role-playing, it's not like it's our characters who really care about what they're allowed to wear, it's the players (well, some of them) who care about their gaming experience being different based on whether they're playing a male or a female.

At least I'm assuming you stopped reading because you disagreed with my making comparisons. Based on your short post and lack of clarification, it could just as easily have been that you stopped reading because you knew already at that point you'd agree with it all. Or that you disagreed with my statement that it doesn't compare well to RL situations.

Anyway, what I wanted to say in that post was basically that while it's pretty unimportant compared to RL situations, unfairness is possible to compare to at least certain aspects of RL situations.

People can and HAVE - the problem is that threads like this metastasize into activism. It is obvious, SE has no intention of honoring your request or they would have either A: addressed the matter or B: initiated it - Make your suggestion RESPECTFULLY - then leave it alone till they cn find enough time to address it.

They have addressed it. Vaguely. And they've started to follow it up slightly (by adding equal numbers of gender-locked outfits in patches). That doesn't mean it can't be pointed out when they fail to follow up on what they've said (adding more female-only than male-only), and keep requesting that they address the other half of the issue (repair the already existing genderlock imbalance by either making female-only sets unisex or by introducing more male-only, preferrably matching the existing female-ony/unisex combos).
