Please read the rest of my post before replying, so you get full understanding of what I’m trying to say.
(The Reasoning)
I understand that there will be some who disagrees and some who do agrees. But there are lots of fully clothed armour types for those who don’t like the skimpy stuff but it would be really nice if there was more skimpy stuff for those who do like it.
(I’m a female myself and me and my friends happen to like revealing armor.)
Oh and I do not see it as objectifying women… some women LIKE to show skin, strong women that are proud of their body and don’t care about the stereotypes of society.
After all, this is an MMO and we should be able to dress our characters the way we want it to be. You shouldn’t hate someone for wanting to look like this, it isn’t your character.
All
we are asking is for more choices for those who do like them. And I’m sure, that there are way more people who prefer and don’t mind them then there are people who dislike them.
Where did somewhat immature and whimsical, but also absolutely essential staples of fantasy fashion go?
This game is lacking Skimpy Armor and we need more. I’m not saying every single piece of gear should be skimpy, I’m saying there should be at least a few more.
I’m not saying that skimpy armor should just be for females, in fact there is a lot of males gaming characters in which their armor is revealing. Such as, Kratos from God of Wars and Leonidas from Spartan total warriors.
Before you say revealing armor is not realistic at all, does gloves and chest pieces with flames or floating cubes realistic?
I’d like to remind you that this game and other MMOs alike, where people carry a zoo in their pockets and fling fire from their fingertips, 200 foot tall boss being destroyed, wrecked and somehow held back by a single 3 foot tall Asura and all evil in the world mysteriously revives itself after time even when proclaimed defeated. There is enough applied magic and game-mechanic-elements that are more an offense to logic and immersion than presumably enchanted jockstrap providing the same protection as slightly less enchanted spiky armored greaves with skulls on their kneecaps.
One point I agree with is various Asian allegedly-free-games using skimpy armor to an atrocious extent as a marketing gimmick, but I’m not asking for that. I ask for choice in the matter.
Please remember to stay on topic and keep up a constructive and positive discussion on these forums.
All

I mean lets be honest here, there is probably way more to those that don’t mind them and like them then there are those that do not like them. When describe female characters in the world of FAN ARTS, you’d see that most of them are in more skin revealing armor. Most of female fan arts are in revealing armor! why is that? because it just appeal to people more, not just to male but also to female.
It just looks good and sexy, even females are willing to cosplay that way and enter competition that way because it just looks sexy.

Mad queen falafide, you can’t compare this game to real life, it’s not the same. The better you learn that the better you’re life would get, but i’d doubt you’d look in reality.
Stop trying to make this game realistic, please stop.
This is about me, wanting options for those who like skimpy armor.
Not about you telling whats realistic and what isn’t because it’s obvious to all of us that this game is no where near realistic.
I don’t know if you’re trying to troll but if you can’t understand the game is not realistic, then you’re really aren’t smart at all.
So just stop trying to convince people this game is realistic, and everything should be as realistic as possible.
We all have our own opinion, if you don’t like it then please feel free to reply about your opinion on skimpy armor, don’t have to go over and over and over and OVER again on how it’s not realistic and talk about back flipping and calling people stupid, and trying to tell people you don’t like people to see your underwear, just stop. If you don’t like people looking at your character’s underwear then simply don’t WEAR it.
I just don’t understand how someone can be so blind with the fact that the game is not realistic at all.

To be honest, I don’t think you’ve read all my post otherwise you wouldn’t be posting these nonsense. Not an attack just reminding you, that you should probably read the whole post.
I certainly haven’t read ALL your posts, but I did read ALL OF THE post that you made in reply to mine. But I don’t see you making very good arguments, apart from “some people like dressing like a Canthan harbor gal”.
that’s what you said, don’t know know how to quote is but whatever.
You’re comparing Guild Wars 2 armor to medieval knight armor which I don’t understand at all since Guild Wars 2 armor is different. First, guild wars 2 HEAVY armor, looks way heavier then your average medieval knight armor.
And when I said you couldn’t dodge EFFECTIVELY as you could with lighter armor. it means effectively, not you CAN’T dodge at all.
it’s a big differences.
I’m not a coward, we can’t have a real discussion because I can’t understand what you’re trying to say.
First you say, you’re all up for options, then you’re saying you’re not.
You want the game to be as realistic as possible, which it can’t obviously.
You want everyone to wear full from toe to head armor because it’s realistic, and I’m fine with that, you get to dress your character the way you want it, and i can dress my character the way i want it? is that not good enough for you?
You’re saying you’ve read all my post, yet you post you haven’t.
You complain about not wanting people to look at your characters, yet you demand better looking armor.
Yes it’s very hard indeed to have a discussion with someone who is always changing their mind.
(edited by AshBenzo.8923)
It’s very hard to have a discussion with someone who haven’t read the whole post. Anyway it seems your not going to stop so I’ll just stop.
Never said you can’t dodge in full armored. Read the whole post please, it’s still going to be there.
Most female fan arts are of more revealing armor because they are appealing to not just male but to female also. Why is that? because it looks sexy. It doesn’t have to make sense, it just have to look good.
If it makes sense, it can also look just as good, or better. Functional armor looks cooler than nonsense armor. Games have such an immature fixation on showing boobs when designing armor for women. But in a practical sense, torso armor that follows the exact contours of the body would be extremely dangerous in a real combat situation. The purpose of armor is not to make you look sexy, but to protect you from bodily harm. One hit to the torso would cause fatal injuries with the sort of armor female characters are made to wear in Guild Wars. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
It is not difficult to design armor that is practical, and still looks attractive.
There you go again, saying how things don’t make sense. It’s just a game. You know it isn’t realistic right? Read the whole post before you post again please.
Why isn’t military using full covered armor? because your talking about strapping over 100lbs of equipment onto people. No one would have to worry about shrapnel, they’d be dying of heat exhaustion. It isn’t that different from your reasoning of skimpy armor not being realistic. Fully covered equipment aren’t realistic either.
Anyway, enough of this talk about wanting the game to be realistic. It’s never going to be.
But please if you’re going to post again, make your own thread. I don’t want this forum of mine to be about you and me. Go make your own forum and i’d be glad to talk it over with you there.
And so far you’re the only person as of now to disagree with more skimpy armor.
Please avoid posting here, if you want to have a conversation about this please make your own forum and I’ll be glad to reply there.

Guess whats the most popular human armor within the game? You guess it, the human cultural tier 3.
How does one determine this?
By sitting in Lion’s Arch for a week and documenting all the armors used by all the passersby? Decent enough sample size and you could extrapolate with good accuracy.
Though I doubt he’s done that.
That’s not a very good way of doing it tbh. Too many variables and too big of an area.
After playing Guild Wars 2 since release, I’ve began to notice a few things from here and there.
Well since you have an interest in this armor wouldn’t you say you’d notice it more often? Thereby making you biased? Because I would say CoF Armor is the most popular. Just about everyone and their mom has those gauntlets. But I’m just nitpicking one sentence, never mind me.
Well that’s probably your servers! but mine, cultural 3 medium armor for humans are the top picks and I don’t blame people for picking that one. And I disagree with you, Citadel of flame armor is totally not the popular.
Oh I’m all for having more options. But my profession relies on light armor, which means there are a lot less none-skimpy options available to us. Some of the armor options right now are just dumb.
For example:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/7/79/Feathered_Armor_Female_Human.jpg
How does that thing work? How does it not fall off? Do you have to wear double sided duck-tape on the inside? Clothes do not work that way!
Oh please you’re already posting 3 times about how bad it is but don’t actually look in reality. Clothes doesn’t work that way you said? It’s just a game. There is already enough applied magic to make everything works. It’s just a game it doesn’t have to make sense. Most of the armor is not realistic. Would be able to wear huge giant swords, and fully covered armor that weights a heck ton and manage to run and dodge as effectively as you do without an armor?
Armors do not work that way!
To be honest, I don’t think you’ve read all my post otherwise you wouldn’t be posting these nonsense. Not an attack just reminding you, that you should probably read the whole post.
If you’re all for having more options then please stop complaining about how it does not work. It is not real life situation, it is a game.
If you’re so worried about players looking at your character as your 2nd post said, then don’t wear good looking armor cause like you said, there is plenty of awful armor. So why not use them to avoid players for staring at your characters?
We’re asking for more option to those that do like the wear skimpy armor for their characters. And you’re all for options like you said, so lets end it that way. Don’t have to go back and forth talking about how it will not work, how people wouldn’t like it blah blah blah.
Because in all honesty, there is more that do not mind them and liked them then those that do not like them.

Although, some females are offended by the design of skimpy armor! some females also love the design of skimpy armor as well. They are sexy, nice and looks very good in my opinion. Also, they are very Sexy? did I mention that?
Like the post above me, women do in fact like to show skin.
I have to say that I really dislike those skimpy armors. I really want to see full armors, even light armor on female characters. I don’t want to see a fashion show, or a skin fest, I want a real armor that covers most of the skin. Bit of skin here and there doesn’t bother me, and I think that we need to show less skin, especially on female characters.
You don’t want to see a fashion? Then why are you demanding fully covered armor? Is it for the reasoning of wanting to fashion your characters this way? What is the differences with my reasoning then? Not an attack against you, just curious to be honest.

If you’re going to talk about it not being realistic, seriously? Most of the armor is not realistic. Would be able to wear huge giant swords, and fully covered armor that weights a heck ton and manage to run and dodge as effectively as you do without an armor? Wouldn’t it make more sense if someone wear skimpy armor to reduce weight and be more agile?

Oh, but saying women should run around half naked isn’t a personal attack?[/quote]
I never said, I was attacking Women. I find people saying I am attacking women is offensive.
I ask skimpy armor for females as well as males. So who am I to be attacking?

Title says everything, so I’d be comparing this game to other games including World of Warcraft and previous Guild Wars game.
For those of you who played MMO such as World of Warcraft, It’s no secret that some of the more demanding items are the revealing clothing. In WoW, the most popular transmogrification items are vanilla clothes that have one distinction to them; they’re skimpy. The definition of Skimpy may vary depanding on the person, but it generally means “not covering everything head to toe” Unlike, say, most or every single piece of gear involving new graphics withing the game.
