This is by far my biggest issue with Guild Wars 2. I really enjoy the game but how the video game industry portrays women in general is terrible and I expect more. I have no issue with skimpy armor existing, but for it to be the rule and not the exception is simply demeaning. It hinders Guild Wars as an otherwise good work of art and entertainment, and it hinders the entire video game industry by reinforcing the stereotype that video games are mindless and only made for adolescent boys. This issue really bothers me even as a man. Anet, if you are reading this I believe you have a moral obligation to do better.
That said I love Guild Wars and will try to look past female armor.
