Guild Wars 2

have different male and female versions and why does the male version have to look awful? Seriously. I saw a picture with a female wearing the level 80 exotic Acolyte’s Mask, and I thought it looked really cool so I decided to see how it would look on my male… and it looks terrible. Instead of having criss-crossing straps, it’s an upside down V-shape and also includes something that covers my mouth. In addition, there’s the huge problem where my eyebrows and the skin around it are clipping through the mask. Why can’t I just use the female version of the mask? This sucks man.

This is true for most of the light armor, it’s not just that they are slightly different based on sex it’s that the majority of them are thematically completely different despite being the same set.

Yeah, but blindfolds are unisex…

Was more attempting to point out that the designers attempted to recreate the wheel so to speak with a lot of armors based on sex rather than attempting to remain consistent within sets.

I would be very disappointed if the guys were running around wearing little tutu skirts like my light armor from Melandru’s temple.

Try being Asura the thing covers your whole head, why gear always has to look terrible on Asuras is beyond me..

It’s a race of nerds, makes perfect sense to me.

Thanks for the heads-up if I ever create a male character. I love my blindfold mask, it is soo sexy on my necro.

Can you show a picture of how it looks bad on your character? I use it on my male charr and it looks awesome.

I had a lot of trouble with my male ele finding pants that didn’t look like a skirt. The choices were:
Aladdin pants
miniskirt
long skirt with a strip removed at the front
spandex leggings (AC armor)

Here are a couple places to preview the armors available:

Oh my….that’s some horrible clipping, right there.

That needs to be fixed.
