Whyyy? The female shoulder cog is way better looking than the male version. kitten’s not right! Why did they have to make it look worse on the male? I’d buy the set for the shoulders if I could wear them on my male char…

Edit: Also the pauldrons are much better on female. Come on anet, why gotta make them different?

I noticed that the cog was not very appealing when previewing on a male character. I would prefer the cog in #1 above (female) for both sexes. I actually don’t like heavy or light much. They nailed medium and my engineer is eternally grateful.

Have to agree. I looked at the armor initially from a female Norn character. I thought, “Hmm. I can use those pants here, and maybe the coat on another character, and the shoulders on my Charr…” thinking if I could find enough places to put pieces I’d buy it (hate the gloves, no clever plans for the helmet yet, the boots might see use…). Then I saw what the armor looked like on males and yeah, the shoulders dropped right out of the plus column of my value calculations and now I’m hesitating to by the package at all.

I probably will get one bundle before they are gone, but its reluctantly rather than enthusiastically.

Eyup. I just posted a thread in general game discussion pertaining to this, wondering if they could add in an option to change the shoulder and helmet skins. It’s ridiculous people get to look more decent just because of their race/gender.
