I’ve been barking up that swimsuit tree for years. All I can say about that is ARF ARF ARF GRRRRRR!
But seriously, the swimsuit issue is one of those things that perplexes me. It shouldn’t be a ratings thing, because we can already strip down our characters and NPCs are already wearing swimsuits. There’s no technical limitations, as we’ve already seen active character models wearing them. As outfits they are guaranteed to sell in the gemstore. So… why no swimsuits?
I think the thing is what use would we get out of them and would it be worth the time/resources for Anet to create them?
Sure yes we do have a beach in LA but really besides roleplay who would actually go there and spend time there? And even taking into account the roleplay crowd how long would this last before they got bored and moved on? There would need to be more areas introduced as time goes by to keep it fresh. Perhaps roleplay areas with more than just the beach theme etc. But that is thinking beyond this.
I think for this to be viable for Anet to spend the time and resources they would have to introduce something pretty big along side it to work with it. Perhaps a few more mini games/game systems that people could play for fun/rewards. Basic examples that could come to mind are beach volleyball and such. You want Esports Anet? Who says they have to all be about combat!? Do it, make it happen, beach volley ball season. And of course you can have many, many, many various bathing costumes to sell in the gemstore for people to play in as they compete in this new Esport feature. :P

I totally see many people using swimsuits though. Especially on Human females.
