Will we ever again have skimpy armor?

[Nomads]

Who's more offending, a guy who dresses up a 3D model of a fictional female figure, like a dwarf or an alien goat, in a certain way, or a guy who tells actual women what to think and how to feel like as if they weren't able to make up their own minds?

Fact is, a lot of girls/women like to dress up their toons in skimpy outfits. Hell, some even use mods that take it wayyyyyy further. But regardless of that, having skimpy clothes is a part of the fantasy - you can be a royal knight, decked in full shiny plate, or maybe a barbarian, sporting only short shorts made of fur and a leather harness - and that applies on both males and females - because what would be more sexist than allowing one, yet disallowing the other?

Blizz seems to be okay with NPCs having revealing armor (dragons aspects, literally all of Suramar population) but when it comes to players, they don't go further than midriffs. Kind of pointless then, to have tattoos and other stuff like that - on lightforged, for example, you don't see their ornaments at all, unless you use some of the vanilla armors - that use 32x32 compressed textures, therefore don't look as good.

This is basically everything I was hoping to say on the subject. I will also say that in a game where magic makes most things possible, you could literally go in to battle naked and be fine. This goes for Warriors too. How many barbaric-looking warriors have you seen in the game wearing nothing but a loincloth? I've seen a lot...

Our characters should be able to do the same if we wish without politics getting in the way.

I really hope they don't add more skimpy shit to the game. People already go around dressing their female characters like sluts working the corner looking for their next John. I would rather Blizzard change all the bullshit looks of the female-only slut outfits to be NORMAL looking like how they are on males. People complain about how this is a fantasy game & how there shouldn't be LGBT representation in it because it "breaks the fantasy immersion" but they're also one of the first ones to slap on a slutmog on their female Blood Elves, female humans, and female Night Elves and /dance while they fap to it.

Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but men don't sit around 'fapping' to mogged WoW characters while playing.

How skimpy are we talking? The Zandalar leveling armor had a fairly revealing chestplate. (could only find male pictures but on females it's like sports bra-ish)

That's the Raptor Jesus outfit.

PRAISE RAPTOR JESUS!!

Edit: It looks like a bra.

Most of the skimpy armor players I know are actually females IRL. You have some serious flaws in your worldview.

Yup. All of them in our guild have always been women. My wife is one of the worlds worst.

Well, Horde plate look is also quite revealing, even more than the leather set, also on male characters. And we have revealing cloth and chain looks. My male rogue and male hunter are proudly showing their nipples! XD

Come to the Horde, we have skimpy armour and dinosaurs! :3

Well, it depends on my mood. My BE girls currently wear shoulder-free looks. My BE guys show off their breast muscles. My female orc DK shows some midriff, for the first time in this character's existence.

Native people in hot and moist zones in the world usually don't wear much. So, if we go to the Zandalari, we dress like the Zandalari.

The game has blood and gore not to mention a rating , but the one thing the devs are afraid of is adding skimpy armor . Yet mass killing of elves is ok

Well... Americans fear naked nipples more than military guns. Never heard of nipples killing anybody. Whatever.

While I roll the eyes at the thought that skimpy chain-mail bikinis could be considered some kind of armour, and usually have my plate wearing, tanking girls be covered appropriately, I don't mind having some skimpy versions, especially for casters.

Need pictures of this, for scientific transmog purposes of course.

Speaking of skimpy cloth armor there is the Mage Tier from HFC, but is it a tube top? (What is tube top, but the Tier chest piece is pretty skin tight anyway..)

It took me ages to find, okay so it wasnt a boob tube as I thought it was but, close enough :P

[Gaidax]

It's 2k18, I bet by 2k20 anything less than a full closed neck to ankles dress would wind artists in trouble.

[tankbug]

Personally I hope it doesn't return. I'm not talking about realism or things like that, I just don't like playing with hordes of over-sexualized female characters, perhaps mostly because I know it's a guy with a hard-on on the other side. Creepy!

[Sansnom]

Yeah found it too. Have a hard time believing the average female blizz employees has any real problems with skimpy armor. I imagine a lot of them are geeks and like cosplaying etc.

And here lies part of the problem. Why would you think they would not have any problems with it?

What has cosplay has to do with this? Oh, cosplay as sexy females? Well, do you cosplay? Would you cosplay as Conan in nothing more than a loincloth?

[Segus1992]

But why though? And no there are very few options, it just seems like a lot since people are always using them.

Isn't it easier to just masturbate to porn? I feel like the game is a lot more respectable now that skimpy sets are few and far between.

Hehe so edgy.

But why is it needed? Need to get your rocks off...go check out rule 34 or any of oodles of free material on the net.

Are pet battles needed? Of course not neither is skimpy armour but in a game that is all about stabbing and hacking enemies to death why do people get their knickers in a twist over come cartoon characters having this skimpy armour?

I don't care either way tbh but i don't see how anyone can think skimpy armour is bad but stabbing hacking slicing shooting chopping and even cannibalising dead bodies is okay.

Women ruin pretty much any hobby they touch. It is in their nature sadly.

I'm sorry these sjw reported this. Its great!

Don't be bloody ridiculous. Between you and 'the guy' it's YOU that is the sick one if you believe he has a hard-on. Idiot.

[SoundOfGuns]

Yea, look, i know its a popular thing between all the semi-incels to consider every kind of change in that regard an SJW-complaint with no good reason or whatever, but like it or not... the thing that female armor turns 3inch thick plate into a bikini is pretty much oversexualisation and is a thing in WoW. It still is with some older items. Do i like some of the skimpy armor sets? Yea, they have their own charm... But i can also relate to female players who really don't want to have their Paladin or Warrior look like they are having a fancy beach day... And in this case i believe its a valid complaint if women feel treated weirdly because their sets somehow aren't proper plate, but playboy outfits.

And i like to remind you that every species released ever since this change of mentality starting in TBC/Wrath still have very feminine body shapes worthy of a cover model, with the first and only exception going to be the Kul'Tirans... and they got the fitting males coming along with them.

Not feminine conspiracy here, guys, just some sensibility.

[kaid]

I will note that some of the horde zone aztec themed gear is more revealing than what we have seen much of recently in things other than demon hunter gear. I do like the horde robes basically have a bare midriff/back version and a full robe covers everything version of basically the same look. So if somebody wants more buttoned down look they can do that or if they want to air more stuff out they can. Some of the male armor looked like it showed a lot of chest.

[AboikoS]

You've never seen a live woman naked, have you?

My sexual life is none of your business.

If you'd actually read my whole post you'd understand that im mainly talking about horny 15 yo's who would rather prefer to see a half-naked female elf than a female elf with some savage-kind-of outfit thats rather very unattractive to most unless you have some weird sexual fantasies etc. but that usually comes later with experiance when you start to realize that some things make you more horny than others.

What im trying to say is that its just a fuckin business, if you want young audience to play your game then making those skimpy looks on hot characters will certainly attract them rather than not, simple as that. It always worked and it always failed when companies started to get rid of it to lick feminist boots. Then why do they keep doing it?
As adults we stop caring about such things, yes, exactly i dont really care too, but if we dont care then why they make those decisions to make us happy instead of the groups of people that actually seem to care? Its just terrible business plan, it all seems like those companies are led by people having absolutely 0 clue about what they are actually doing. Like i said, they keep digging their own graves.

[Martymark]

There are a couple ok slutmogs for men added with the Zandalar gear, but the versions for women cover vastly more flesh.

Seems Blizzard IS sexist, just against men.

[Demithio]

No, but you'll definitely have skimpy expansions.

[DrStiglit]

I'm attracted to women...I don't feel the need to drool over half naked video game characters like a neanderthal.

Grow up and download some porn...or are you afraid you'll get caught?

Yeah...they must be a incel because they are adults and don't need to look at skimpy dressed pixels to get their rocks off.

Yea. It’s lretty pathetic to make a fuss about not being able to make your female night elf run around in her underwear.
