There’s a reason why armor must be like that; it’s utterly sexy! More bikini armor! <3

The fact is, they are trying to sell their game. It’s all about money, and they know what attracts people. Everyone goes with the guarantee and not out on a limb. It’s all marketing and this will never go away. Cause the majority of those that play video games are teen/males. Though I will say more females are getting into the action these days. The amount of people who don’t like this is 100x less then the amount of people who do. LOL, no game I know of caters to non skippy armor except well FPS, and they still Always make their females attractive. Really, just except it and move on.

Your right all the way,
whether or not these people are WoW fans, you cant blame the company for trying to make it just like the game that makes millions. The nudity part is also true, because some horny boys may get turned on and join.

I completely understand and appreciate the context and historical impact of Frank Frazetta. I collected monster mags as a kid and I admire his style, the imagery depicted therein and still do.

The problem I have is when it’s used ad nauseum as a cheap way to promote video games. Enough already.

I disagree with you about black people not liking Lord of the Rings. How do you know that? Is there any evidence to support that kind of claim? Seems to me inferring that Tolkien was a racist is old red herring that’s been around for a few years.

You could make the same claim that Asian people don’t like Lord of the Rings because there are no Asian people in Middle-earth. I hope that fantasy authors don’t start including black skinned people or other victim groups du jour in their novels just for the sake of political correctness. The color of someone’s skin or their hat for that matter doesn’t really interest me. But when someone tells me that an author must start appealing to a segment of the population then I get concerned.

To take what you are saying to it’s logical conclusion: if black people stopped reading books about non-black people then they’d be excluding 99.99% or more of the books ever written. That would be silly. With black teens in America having a 30% graduation rate as it is that would be nothing short of disastrous and put them at a disadvantage.

With regard to children’s books I find them appallingly politically correct — those poor children will be in for a shock when they grow up and see the world the way it truly is. Give me the old classic fairy tales and fables any day of the week.

Well said! I know where you are coming from. For years I avoided playing any NCSoft MMO because I was tired of seeing the perfectly endowed females on the cover of all of their products — especially the Guild Wars boxes.

Displaying scantily clad females in video game cover and associated promotional materials is an insult to my intelligence. Surely there is enough of this on the Internet for those that care about those things.

Is NCSoft and any other company that engages in this practice have the right to do that? Absolutely. But understand that while they employ these cheap tactics that I will not be very likely to buy their products.

Does that mean there’s a drug somewhere that causes young ladies to strip down to their bikinis, chain themselves to rocks and pulsate their bosoms?

Hmm, wonder if one can get it on prescription…

“Was there some time when a new armor set was created and the designer had gotten it to fit the female models but then upon showing to to his supervisor: “It looks nice but where’s the cleavage?””
I saw my wife’s then-70 Priest(ess) running around in what looked like thigh-highs and a thong. ‘Put some clothes on!’ I said. ‘What are you wearing, anyway?’ (I can’t remember what they were called, unfortunately).

She linked me the leggings. For a laugh, I ctrl-clicked and saw…
My male Paladin wearing blue pants with a yellow stripe (think Custer’s cavalry pants). I was amazed at how different they were.
