    Will the next expansion address the glamour discrimination against men in this game?

    A huge problem with this game is the lack of male glamour options. A lot of glamours are catered towards women, and usually male glamours are treated as an afterthought. By this I mean that the devs start by creating female glamours (which is why they often look nicer) then tweak it to fit the male body. But because the original design is designed for the female body it looks weird on the male body. Because of this, men have become part of the glamour minority which pushes a lot of otherwise male-presenting folks to play as Miq'otes, Au'ras, and Vieras. This wouldn't be so if people are treated it equally when it comes to glamour options. Unfortunately glamour discrimination is real and 80% of glamours are catered towards women. I hope the next expansion will devote more resources towards creating male glamours. One solution could be to learn from Maple Story 2 and allow artists to create custom glamours that anyone can use. This will free up dev time and allow men to create their own glamours instead of using female glamour that has been haphazardly modeled to fit the male body.

    Eh, much like his trolling attempts, I couldn't be bothered to do more than I had to. It was handy.

    I mean, it's not like I'm gonna put in effort to actual rebut anything he posted, since he won't actually read it.

    You mean like all the female protagonist glamour we got for veteran rewards? Oh wait....


    Also. It's Au Ra. No apostrophe.

    Also, no such thing as a glamour minority.

    Also, stop being a troll. If you actually have an opinion on things, try presenting them without buzzwords and you'll get more people willing to hear you out. But you don't care, you are a troll. I'd say bot even, but you respond too well for that.

    Veteran rewards cost real money. So in effect you're proving my point that male glamour disproportionately benefits the wealthy who are able to pay for a long-term subscription.

    The Squall outfit takes 1440 days to acquire. That is $576. You can pay a month's rent with that money. Not everyone is able to afford that kind of glamour.
