STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

How many players would actually wear dresses, panties, and the like, unironically? That means no joke sets, dressed up alt (that is barely played), or just people saying they would (they don't). Many may like talking about how it's the 'right' thing, but is the 'right' thing a justifiable enough reason to use up even more resources on something only a fraction of the playerbase would actually use?

I for one...would wear the Panties, on both my main here, and on my Hrothgar ALT.
Not as a Joke, not for the lolz, not even for attention, but because I can...and because I want to.
Im a fan of Sexy Glamours on both sides.

No one cares what anyone's wearing.
People care what it means for future gear/glamour design and what gets cut so that they can add cross dressing. As someone who plays a male character I don't want the 2B copied factory glamour to become what we see more of. For that I would make a female character.

Your kind of contradicting yourself....your saying no one cares...while at the same time showing how much you would care if you saw more of this type of glamour.
And you're not going to, the 2B glamour is part of another series that was a collaboration for Shadowbringers and Neir: Automata
Thats type of gear isn't going to be the norm going foreword. Some sexy glams will appear, but this isn't a Korean MMO where Sex appeal is the main theme.

its not like 20 people watching someone make a dress for a dude like its a surgery or something

like one guy did all the blue mage spells pretty sure they can deal with rerigging some clothes once every 8 months.

No don't you understand, SE doesn't have someone to take care of scheduling and workload for them. They RELY on the forum to figure that stuff out for them! I'm just glad we all have all the details about their man-power and workflow so we can make these educated decisions for them. *nod nod*

Considering they couldn’t even give us a 9s glam yeah no it seems like it’s pretty difficult for them . I’d rather that workload go towards making other glams rather than glams a very niche portion of the audience will use. You seem very knowledgeable on the workings of game designing though. Care to share your qualifications?

When there's an established trend for content to be cut in the name of niche pursuits it isn't at all unreasonable for players to not want to see a lot of focus on niche pursuits.

When the gender lock was removed for hairstyles the design direction shifted to an abundance of overly feminine and androgynous designs that somehow manage to be too long for the typical male character and too short for the typical female character.

I'd rather not see the same thing happen with glamour as well.

I have few items from ex-fem-only sets that I use in my glamours unironically. I'm not represantive to the community obviously, but since you ask - here's your answer. There are also plenty female characters players that are tired of having endless amount of almost identical short skirts when guys get pants for same item.

Thing is - literally everything they create will be used by "only by a fraction of the playerbase". It's not the reason to not create it, when SE themselves showed plenty of times that it's not the major factor they care about. Otherwise we would still sit here with haircuts only from 2.0 and no additional glamours whatsoever, because majority of them is used by a minority on a daily basis.

all the hair styles we have gotten recently are just contest design winners they are catching up on or cosplay hair styles
nothing to do with gender unlocking hairs

My guess would be quite a few. I've seen a lot of male characters wear the school skirt, something that would have normally been genderlocked to only female. The gold saucer bunny outfit is another good example. And so what if someone does want to wear it ironically? Just because something may look garish and funny to you doesn't mean it looks that way to others.
