Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

[Doomed_Raven]

For anyone against men in this game wearing women's thongs, look at this way. Personally I don't find it appealing as a straight dude, and it's easy for me to say it wouldn't bother me if it stayed locked - because it wouldn't. But then conversely I can make my female Miqo'te character look like a black metal chick (black leather jacket, black trousers and a beanie hat - as I have for one class). Now, it would bother me if I couldn't make my character look like this - which is probably more masculine. I also gave her a suit like Cissnei/Elena from the FF7 Turks, which is using the best man's gear. There are probably people who think these a very unappealing look - whilst thongs on a male look good. Why should I get to make my character look like a tomcat, and not the other way around? It wouldn't be fair. I even made my female Miqo'te character look like the manliest man at one point (Duke Nukem) but that glamour got deleted, I'll save that for a Roegadyn.

If a feature isn't added for political reasons/to exploit for money (which I don't see this as being) let people dress how they want in-game. As for other arguments, is it immersion breaking? I've seen a Lalafell dressed as Ugandan knuckles. Or is it not appropriate for younger players? half the cat and lizard girls in this aren't appropriately dressed for younger players, my black mage glamour isn't anyway. Let dudes free their butt.
