Wait, statistically, are most female avatars played by male players? And are the majority of the players still the younger crowd?

So, maybe they don't mind if their character does less damage, just as long as they stay unusually scantily clad.

If Conan wanted to be very realistic, they would adjust armor values based on the coverage. How female heavy armor with no lower body torso coverage is supposed to be truly protective is beyond me. I would like to see more games treat female warrior avatars with respect and clad them properly.

Brian,

I totally agree. Really nice comment. My biggest annoyance is that a lot of times 'fleshing up' the female avatars detracts from the enjoyment of the gear itself.

Here these companies spend time and effort making art for their loot, and then chop it up so they can show off digital thighs/waists/boobs.

Waste of time.
