Thread: 5.2 Crafted Gear: Gender Locked Alterations

It's literally still a gender lock. The only difference is that it's one piece of equipment and not two.

It also has weird cutouts on the underarms and I have no idea why you'd do that.

The one female top without a long skirt (for Striking) dyes weirdly, too

The female striking top does dye weirdly, I would have liked the cloth parts to be dyeable instead of the corset. It's like a salmon pink color D:, however, I LOVE the general aesthetic of that top. My favourite is probably the aiming one but they are all amazingly well designed.

Not showing the female pants here because I don't like them (they're the same short bloomers as all the other sets). The hats are the same for both genders. DRG has similar designs in red.



The only similarity I can see between them is the armour on the left arm, and the gloves and boots.

Having tried on the female gear first, I was fully expecting some kind of ruffled shirt in the same blue.

Lilac purple seems like a closer match to me.

The mage dresses are my favourites of the set, and the male version looks nice too (but I still need to get Sylviel to Lv80 so he can actually wear them!). The tank/dragoon dress is nice too.

I support locking all armor. No one can wear it, only look at it.

This is BS.

Propagating a chauvinistic ideal is stupid. Now a whole series of awesome looking armor will be glamoured over because someone ELSE thinks my character should automatically be running around in a frilly dress and a short skirt while the male variant, far more practical and better looking in my opinion, is rocking the better looking option.

Simple solution, make BOTH available to BOTH sexes or simply DON'T make variants.

Get to sleep and get away from the forums for a few months, you have been 6 posts and they are all worse than the other.

I've always been disappointed in the lack of good skirts. I often glamour them onto the outfits. I don't really see the issue, tbh.
