Such a shame. Gameplay good, events great, mahoosive costume fail. My daughter wants to play it, I want to play it. I got some 'armour' t'other night. Now, this was supposed to be plate armour if only my arse wasn't hanging out of it. OK not my arse,my avatar's arse. But my mates, both blokes playing blokes were fully covered. I'm all for parity, ifn everyone is scantily clad ok fine, but just female chars? It was like EQ back in the old days when the more armour you had as a female the less clothes you appeared to have on. I'm really, hugely disappointed. How can I let mi girl child play a game that, like a lot of 'things', reinforces female as object? I can't really can I? I'm not sure I want to give my beans to a company that promotes sexism in this way. Such a shame as I like the bloody game.
What really creeps me out is that some sweaty designer worked on animating the avatar's arse, swimming is quite a sight lemme tell you. Ffs...
