Most females are dudes IRL , skirts are better to look at.

By that logic, where are the super revealing tops for my male characters? What if I’d like the option to stare at my warrior’s finely sculpted physique?

Here!

Medium armor is the only one lacking in that department unless you play norn.

Kumion.7580:

Yes to this, too!! I want more equality in my fantasy settings; can’t we move forward from gender-based uniforms?

Unfortunately, this would probably result in a loss of armors that expose the chest, because of bullkitten hypersexualization of nonsexual body parts (Seriously – a woman’s chest is less sexual than her face, arms, or lower legs.).

Kamui.4038:

“Why are female characters wearing feminine clothing?”

Gee I wonder…

Because ANET refuses to give them any other choice. Just like they don’t give Charr or Asura females the option to wear anything but the male clothing.

I used to have a problem with the number of skirts vs pants for light armor in GW2. Then I realized that my problem lies with how Anet is barely capable at doing a slender skirts or nice pants.

The skirts either give your character a disproportionate large behind or hips, and the pants look like they can only fit a 14 year old anorexic girl.
Then they have a problem with adding tights with skirts, or a piece of cloth between the legs (I completely forgot how that’s called).

But as weird as it is, while they have a problem designing nice, slender skirts/pants, they don’t seem to have a problem taking a swim suit top as an armor piece. I don’t have a problem with choice, but wearing a swim suit top with an overly large skirt doesn’t look good.

And I don’t really quite get this problem in GW2, because if I’m not mistake Kristen Perry plays a large part in Armor design in GW2. And she designed some pretty amazing set in GW1.

But I also think there’s a problem from concept art to in-game rendering. Some concept art look very nice and they end up being way too bulky in-game.

However, after nearly 2 years, I’ve given up any kind of hope of seeing something different : light armor will always get bulky skirt or terrible pants and medium armor will always get trench coats

Or Charr. They get a the Chest piece on their Medium racial that doesn’t have the skirt attached to it, as it’s attached to the pants instead. So you can wear different pants with it and be skirtless. SUCH AN AWESOME CHEST PIECE WASTED ON CHARR.!!!!!

It’s also wasted on my light armor Charr ele. When she runs on 4 legs there is cloth hanging down in front of her hind legs, ready to get tangled up. There is no four legged race that would wear something like that to combat.

It’s not a waste if it’s on a charr. The only race that good armor designs are wasted on are the Humans.

Actually, this is a complaint my sister has. She absolutely hates having the huge bustle at the back when she wears anything resembling a skirt, but has a hell of a time finding any piece of armour for her mesmer which isn’t a skirt. When she used to wear town clothes, she liked the cut-off pants because it meant not wearing a skirt (though that’s now out of the equation, she refuses to use town clothes potions).
