Less Female oriented items

So I've been playing for a while now, and I've noticed something that frustrates me.
Nearly 90% of the items available in the boutique are female oriented, and this ranges from fashion, to mounts, to flyers, to emoticons etc. etc.
It just seems unfair that everything is bright and bubbly and colorful. I think a reasonable amount of males and females can agree that everything that comes out nowadays is too bright/cute and the like. Why can't there be more darker oriented items?
2 of the latest mounts released from the packs are:
Cosmos the Unicorn
Aurora
Both are prime examples of how everything is getting too bright/colorful
ok, you want to target a female audience, I get that. But at the cost of ignoring the male players? Can we PLEASE get some darker/evil or whatever you wanna call it items in the boutique?
I want to ride around on a mount that oozes acid, or has blood dripping from its mouth. I want fashion that appears damaged when you take a hit, like it gets tattered and repairs upon exiting combat. And most of all I don't want butterfly wings for the TB's
that's just sad for me.
Imagine how many males would purchase items from the boutique if everything wasn't so unbalanced? this is just a suggestion, do what you will with it. I just hope that I'm not the only male out there who feels left out when it comes to these new mounts/flyers/fash

I must agree with you. Everything that is new in game even this new classes is so gayish. So feminised...0

Trannies are big spenders.AKA PermaSpark, Heartshatter0

Considering it's actually bannable to give a male tideborn facial hair, I'd have to agree that PWI is extremely focused with femininity. Hell, all male characters are forced to wear lip gloss and eye makeup that cannot be removed. I want new fashion sets with chest hair and tattoos!0

so its not even for females, its for faking children. last time I suggested to add some blood and gore in the game, but my tread was closed very fast. b:bye0 -
Considering how many males play a female assassin or another class.. I don't think they are too bothered. lol
Also, I like it bright and colourful. Dark and shady games rather turn me off.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Why must you be an insufferable troll? You expressed your opinion, and Asgardeus expressed theirs. Leave them be.
You could always go play another game to get the gore you require... but you insisted on posting a troll thread on the topic.

I always that most of the male fashion looked a bit too... how should I say... San Francisco-ish.0

hey. cosmos the unicorn is friggin awesome. but i do agree, the only masculine things seem to be about half the untamed flyers and a few wings for the elves...and most of the mounts, if you think about it. the TB only have a couple good lookin wings, and honestly? genesis update is all green or glowing sparkly stuff. i understand eguard are the earth people, and so they would have the plants, but cmon. do we really need crystals glowin everywhere laggin up the game? then again, they could be overcompensating for makin all the fem gear and fash so ****. the only thing ive found so far that doesnt allow people to see up the skirt when carrying other than the dresses (which all show maximum cleavage) is the lvl 50-60 armor set.You just never know with venomancers. At least some have the decency (like me) to admit they are men...some are just creepy weirdos. About half are female, but you never know, do you? You'll have to trust your better judgement...0 -

TB dont have facial hair for a reason, but the fact that i accidently reset my BM's colors when i first made him and then i couldnt give him normal lips, so he ended up looking like he was wearin peach colored makeup pisses me off. and why the hell do male chars have to wear eye makeup? b:infuriated NOT KEWL!You just never know with venomancers.

@ OP: And I think you're being sexist. They aren't for "females" as a sex sense(except fashions), they're "feminine" in a gender sense.
You know what frustrates ME? The lack of masculine fashions for females. I'm tired of my fem characters looking like prissy little bimbos. If I'm to have female characters, I want at least some of them to be MANLY.
Yeah, I know China's gender dress codes are ****, but whatever... b:surrender

Actually, there are plenty of male tideborn NPC's with facial hair, some of them huge and burly and manly as well. Only our player-created male tideborn are stuck with a face more feminine than Dolly Parton's ****.
Perhaps guys wouldn't play female assassin if they could make a male assassin that actually looked like a male and not some drag queen or bishounen fratboy. Of course, even if we were given more manly choices and facial hair options, it wouldn't cure the male tideborn of their awful Tide Form and Meditation form.Asgardeus - Sanctuary wrote: »Considering how many males play a female assassin or another class..

Stereotyping
Why is it considered female oriented just because its colorful, whereas masculine if dark and gory?
Does this mean you would wear a big frilly dress if it was dark and gory, because that would make it manly?
I would say the majority of in-game items are FANTASY oriented rather than female oriented <.>
And you know what? Many men are PROUD to ride around the streets of archo on their big *** chickens.
But yes. I certainly wouldn't mind some darker stuff. They should remodel PWI all apocalypsy like they said they would for next expansion. It will be like PW got a gritty reboot :>0 -
if a man is wearing colorfull puffly wuffly clothes like [Sapphire full set] its not stereotyping or female oriantated... its ***_blood_rain - Sanctuary wrote: »Stereotyping

Pink was actually considered a manly color hundreds of years ago, because it was a shade of red, which was associated with blood._blood_rain - Sanctuary wrote: »Stereotyping

So you define manly as dark and gory? And feminine as colorful?
I prefer colorful (red, blue, sky blue, orange, yellow, lime) to dark and gory (black, brown, grey, green, maroon) Does that make me feminine?
I think femininity and masculinity are defined by something more than color.
Actually, I think it is sad that they need to be defined at all and we can't all just be happy liking whatever we feel like liking.0 -
How colorful stuff ingame is has nothing to do with how feminine it is. It's the styles, the way it looks on male characters, multiple factors at play. Need I remind you of that hideous male fashion with the cat ears? When I first saw it on the home page backw hen it was first released, I thought it was a female character wearing a new female fashion. A few of the new male fashions have had that effect on me. To be honest, the sapphire set looks cool on my BM, but only cuz he's a huge manly man with a blonde Lemmy.
We need more masculine stuff in general, both for males and females. I want pants, non-heel shoes and more short hairstyles for females. I want body hair options for males and more facial hairs. I want to be able to turn off the lip gloss and eye makeup for male characters. If more importantly, I want The Ganondorf for a beard option.0 -
there is not much male stuff indeed. But the worst part is that there is no way for people without credit cards (or any accepted payment methods) to gain these items. Well unless you wish to pay a insane amount of coins in Archosaur city from someone that pretty much rips you off. I seen the cheap items that were a year (or longer) ago around 300k, are now easily 3 million instead! I can understand people wanting to gain a little, but shouldn't there be a way for everyone to gain items, instead of complaining only about male/female item ratio?
There are much bigger problems! Honest players being kept from the good stuff just because no one really gives them a chance to buy something nice for their characters! THAT is the problem, not the male/female ratio! lol b:victory0 -

Ya i get exactly waht your saying, there really isnt specific colors that define genders, why do genders even need to have such diffrent fashion?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
