I think you have already proven yourself to have ass backwards views on gender and sexuality, and you are the one coming off as a close-minded. Are you arguing that ass armor ruins the immersion because is not REALISTIC? Think for a minute about what you are trying to apply realism to...

hey i'm a gamer and offer no excuses for that. Gaming is more of a culture to me than most of reality. So, now you know this you understand right? You're clearly not a gamer or about as casual as they come. Should you really be posting in a gaming related thread? And i've proven very little it seems. How you feel about me is entirely irrevelant. Have a nice day :)

That's how you get so much AC.

The monster stops and drools while you bash it over it's head. :D
What makes you think a murlock likes that sort of thing? Wouldn't it prefer a lady murlock? All player characters must look incredibly ugly to them. Just admit you get off on the new "art" and we'll leave it at that?


But the thing you don't understand is the male murlocks would do anything for some human or if they are lucky dwarf bootie. :D

Then my mission on this planet is finished.

Mal do a google search for Fantasy Art.
within 2 secs i found pages like this
http://www.arthistory.cc/html2/fantasy_main.php
that show girls in skimpy plate mail...
im 33 years old and I remeber alot of this growing up.. this was the way females have always been depicted in fantasy movies and TV..

Red Sonya..
Conan the Barbarian
Conan The Destroyer
D&D the Movie..
Scorpion King
and many others...
this is the type of High Fantasy Bliz is after....
Female Heros have always dressed outlandishly and been tough as nails in fantasy...

hell Conan didnt even wear armour at all yet he had an AC rating of 6000000000000 =P
that metal Bikini ought to be good for 69999999999999 =P

Conan didn't need armour and high ac cause he killed em before they killed him :) But that puts the emphasis on player skill over equipment, which of course doesnt work in MMOs cause people need loot to accumulate and you lose a huge chunk of playerbase (read revenue) when you focus player skill. And what's the point of loot if it doesn't do anything, hence AC is born (talking mutliplayer here, I know about single player rpgs). Don't get me wrong though, loot is awesome.

Ya ya I know the arguement. Did you read my entire post?

You know what, there's another problem with this aside from what i've mentioned. If I played a female character and had armour that barely showed on my toon at all, i'd feel...cheated. Like when you buy a high priced "gourmet" meal and stare at the 4 carrots and 1 oz of salmon on your plate.

Sure, but you'd get what you expect. Pr0n. What I don't expect nor want is softcore pr0n in warcraft.

Softcore, sure...could lead to more right? Feasibly? I know you like to go right to the hardcore man, but look at the big picture here, please, and don't be naive :)

Its fantasy...give it a rest
Me? Rest? Well, good idea, but no thanks. Like i said, it ain't my fantasy. Sex is sex. PC Games are pc games. The two don't mix, imo.

It looks cool
It doesn't look cool. No. It looks like ass - pun intended - in the context it's in.

who cares if its not practical!
I care if it's practical.
