My Norn elementalist, looking fancy and all that

Here’s my Norn Ele, chillin’ with Jormag and the dolyaks. ^^

Was open on Seafarer’s Rest few moments ago!

The cultural outfit title is “emperor” because it’s a play on “the emperor’s new clothes”. This has nothing to do with gender and changing it to “empress” undermines the whole reason it’s called what it is.

Case closed.

I actually do know that, I just thought this could be a nice little feature and that it would look really good on a character.

All I wanted to say and/or suggest is that the Empress title would look amazing on a female, and it would sound amazing too.
I didn’t want to bring up this whole sexist discussion. I am not separating two genders, I am up for equality but equality doesn’t mean women having men’s titles when there are titles for women too. I would find that demeaning, in a way.

The whole point is that every other title works unisex and it works fine, this one in particular caught my attention and I thought of suggesting maybe adding the empress too, because it would look really amazing, and you can’t argue with that. Plus, it would fit female characters more than emperor would, even though emperor indeed is a powerful word itself.

If Anet put the title The Empress in the first place, and that being the only title, I would see if it would be possible to have the emperor put in too. Not because of separation and sexism, but because it would look much much better on female and male characters, plus you’d have the option to choose between them, which is kind of cool.

By all means, I am sorry if I offended someone? Or if someone misunderstood me or whatever happened here, I just wanted to suggest a nice little feature and change.

There’s no need for you guys to get so upset like this, i was just making a suggestion.

Treated on the same level? How is it the same when a female is being called an emperor, a male title, when there actually is a word for that same female emperor and that is the empress. It was made for a reason.
Would a guy like to be called a woman’s title? Why are there queens then?

Would you like if, for example, your male character had the title “The Queen”? Would you rather be the king, instead, if there were such a title.

This is not about same rights or treating everyone the same, it’s about implementing a word in the game that actually exists, and it has been used for females who ruled countries when there were no men, aka Emperors.
By implementing this, you would have the option to choose between the Emperor and the Empress, depending on who you’re playing with at that moment.

When I said sexist, i thought of this “Most female counterwords aren’t even necessary.” which, by all means, is sexist.
How is that treating everyone the same? Saying that female counter words aren’t necessary? Why were they made then?

Queen Elizabeth is called The Queen. Not the king. Just saying. Just an example. Think about that.

Doctor Orderly MD PhD DDS.7625:

If I were you I’d consider the word ‘emperor’ unisex. Most female counterwords aren’t even necessary.

What you’re saying is even sexist.
The word Empress was made and exists for a reason: It’s for female versions of emperors.
If one would consider emperor as unisex, should we do the same for king as well? No queens then?

That’s just silly.

Might I ask which dyes you used ?

Glad you liked it!
I used celestial, turquoise and redemption

Hello everyone,

Recently I have been having some thoughts about this title. I decided that my current goal in the game is to achieve the title “The Emperor” but I’ve encountered a tiny problem. Since all my characters are female, as I am in real life, I thought it would be quite odd seeing a female character with the Emperor title, as it’s made for a male person. And since I wanted it to be on my main character, I don’t really think it would be fair if I had to change the gender only because there isn’t a female version.
Not to mention that Empresses really did exist and that I’m not just making up a female title for an emperor

What are your guys thoughts on this? Do you think it should be implemented in the game so it would fit any character, not only the male ones?

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

This is not helpful. not at all.

Same here. Just realized i lost rares, exotics, cores that i got, pristine relic, lost all globs of ectoplasm that i salvaged and didnt get the items back. What should one do about this?

same here. lost several exotics and rares from my bags.

Of course. Now i am a giant among other small tiny people. My boobs are as big as their heads. Nanana.
