Ok, how about this:

ArenaNet, why not try this with a few armor sets like the dungeon armors and cultural armors and see how it goes? You could have a toggle on each piece that would let you switch between skins. If it goes well, future armor sets could have this option.

I know this kind of thing takes time, which is why trying it out on a limited number of sets (instead of overhauling all armor in game) would sound like a good compromise to me.

Again, this is about choice – nothing else. No one should feel judged by their armor choices, but everybody should have access to the same options.

You were able to slip the same armor over Asura and Norn with great results. I have no doubt that this can be done with a female form as well.

I really believe this can be done and would possibly open up great possibilities in the future as well as give ArenaNet bragging rights as far as creativity and equality is concerned. Think about it.

I hope we can hear an “official” response to this topic soon.

In my post I was simply asking for both options in skins, especially considering the huge difference in some sets (Arah heavy being a perfect example). I know there are many sets available that aren’t quite as exposing, but please, do they look anywhere near as cool as their male counterparts? Making both skins available would satisfy everyone.

Want to look like you lost half your armor in battle? Ok.

Want to look like you can smash down a wall with the sheer weight of your armor? Great!

At least you have a choice!

I am not looking to start a debate of skimpy versus non-skimpy…I know that will probably never change the way game armors are designed…but I believe having both options available would make this game a lot more interesting to a lot of people.

I sent this email to ArenaNet yesterday and was advised to post something on the forum in the hopes that a developer might come across my “suggestions”.

I searched for a similar thread I could add this too, but either the search function hates me or it hasn’t been talked about in a while, so forgive me if it has been discussed before

I have never been on these forums, so please be gentle, lol!

Here goes:

“Cry Of Frustration”

“So we meet again,

I felt moved to write you this message after browsing through my wardrobe tonight. Today was the first time I ever created a male character (the scars are great!) and as I dressed him in my Arah armor I was shocked by the glory that was the male model of this particular armor set. When my female guardian prances around PVP arenas in nothing but an array of bones, held together by what I can only assume to be prehistoric gum, I don’t feel as intimidating and spectacular as I did when I put the same outfit on my male character.

Please, please, please make it possible for us females (real life females or those playing one of us in game) to choose between the bikini and bad-a versions of armors.

Now, I can hear you exclaim “But what if the players who create male characters start demanding bikinis in turn?”…the answer to that I don’t know, although I have seen some outfits that come close to that, I don’t believe it would necessarily be an issue. Female Asura as well as Charr enjoy the male “versions” of the most beautiful heavy armors in game and I have never heard a male Charr or Asura scream for iron bloomers.

While we are on the subject, I firmly believe the human females need a bit more variety, as far as their body types are concerned…at the very least, please balance out the healthiest body type to be available with corresponding proportions (I know, you know what I mean :o).

I love this game, but come on…Arah gear on a female with a skeleton holding their goods..nooo. Please consider an option to equip the “male” version of armors…would you storm into battle with a golden brazier that focuses all of the impact on your sternum…or leap into a brawl wearing a tiny non-skirt and a garter?…No, ArenaNet, you would not…

Respectfully yours,

Brui"—-

P.S. I decided to just post my original message because I didn’t feel like picking it apart and creating a list…sorry!…and thanks for reading!
