Guild Wars 2

I would like to give support to the general topic of something feels amiss, or lacking if you will, with asura clothing options. After reading through this thread, one thing is quite clear. The issue isn’t cut and dry one way or the other.

I’d like to first point out that GW2 is a game. Games are intended to be fun for ALL who play them. Clearly there are many players who are being quite limited in fun because of this particular issue.

I see lots of you, who are against a change, pointing out that Asura and Charr are androgynous and shouldn’t be subject to human standards. While I see the the logic in most of that reasoning, I feel it is being short sighted. One thing that always happens when different cultures meet is that they affect each other. Both cultures end up taking aspects of the other that they like and applying them to their own.

Seeing as three of the five races have females wearing dresses, skirts, and various feminine clothing, there is no logical way that the other two races would not take notice of that. Certainly there would be plenty of Asura and Charr that would ignore or not want to adopt such aspects of other races. However, there would absolutely be many that would take note and want to try it.

It may or may not be unreasonable to tweak each of the current armor sets but, in the end, that is for the developers themselves to decide. If the developers decide that it’s an unreasonable task, I wouldn’t hold it against them.

Moving forward, regardless of what is done about the current armor skins, I think it would be quite reasonable to start including a decent amount of feminine armor sets and outfits for Asura and Charr. This way, there would be options to please and give fun to all of us.

Asura are my favorite race by far, however, i’m a bit of an oddball overall, for an Asura. I’m have almost zero interest in our technological and incredibly science heavy culture. I greatly appreciate the conveniences it provides for us and the rest of Tyria. My interests and heart lie with magic, myths, legends, AND I personally adore and am fascinated by the clothing worn by females of races.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I hope it is found to be constructive, palatable, and without enmity. I wish you a pleasant journey.
