I’m a female in my late 20’s and I love skimpy armor. I can’t play an MMO without skimpy armor. I really don’t get this stereotyping that only immature males have scantly clad females; and females have fully covered females. My husband used to dress his characters in sexy stuff when he played MMOs. I don’t think he is immature or weird for doing it. It was fun playing with him because we would go after the same outfits. I wear sexy armor because I want to look sexy. I don’t think skimpy armor is sexist and degrading. If anything I consider it empowering. I want to make heads turn. Well, not so much in video games, but in real life I actually like being hit on. In real life though I can’t wear stuff like that, and wouldn’t because I know it is way to inappropriate. That and I’m married now. But with the fantasy setting, I can actually wear what I would love to wear in real life if I could get away with it.

My favorite outfit I had in a MMO was in AoC. I wore sandals, a headband, and a loincloth. That was it. I felt very “free” with no top on whatsoever. It was awesome fun. And I loved the guys that ran around in just a loincloth too.

I don’t expect Guild Wars to ever have mature levels of skimpy armor, but it would be nice to see more skimpy options especially in the medium armor. Heavy armor I think lacks too when it comes to the humans. Also most heavy armor looks bulky and I want something form fitting like the gladiator set from GW1. But it is important to have as much variety as possible. While I do want more skimpy armor, if everyone was in skimpy armor then I wouldn’t feel special (Tera is an example of that).

I wish more girls had the same intelligence and open mind as you. Instead, they just complain and make fun of guys who want skimpy armor.

I’d ask you to marry me but somebody beat me to it.

That is all.

Open minds are fine but implying that someone who does not like skimpy armor and may have a problem with the fact that a lot of games (note: not this one) force you to wear skimpy armor is less intelligent is a bit problematic. The reason many complain isn’t just because of skimpy armor in and of itself (though some of it really gets very very silly) but also because you’re often not given options. As Araushnee says, variety is good. You wear that skimpy miniskirt, I’ll wear the awesome robe, both of us are happy.

Which is where I stand on the general topic. I’m for more options, more variety for both males and females. That includes more skimpy armors for men if we’re adding more of them for women and options of the non-skimpy variety for both.

Just finished Twilight explorable (between 15:20-15:30 server time or so), first time doing it again in quite a few days (only done once before), not done any other dungeons for the last two or three days. This was the “up” path, took about an hour.

Everyone in my party got 60 tokens except me, I got 30. This included 2 players who hadn’t done it before on that character (or at all), and a player who has run it before same as me (we were in the same run the first time). As a person who really rather loves the twilight armor set, this is a slight setback. I am hoping you guys can fix the problem soon for everyone and thank you for the hard work you’re all putting in
