There's a fair few costume pieces that are exclusive to one particular gender, and simply have no reason to be.
'Armor Plated' leg accessory for women; brilliant looking piece, not for men.
'Armor Gauntlet' and 'Armor Knight', the hand and feet pieces for the medieval armour, not available for women. Think the leg plates for it might be only for men as well, should check that.
'Horns Ornamental' side accessory for the head, only for men. No idea why.
'Thick Strap' shoulder pad, only for men.
I'm just throwing out examples that have screwed up my plans for characters already, but there's just loads of them, sadly the majority are pieces only available to the male build even though literally all of them are perfectly fine to go on a woman. It's not like putting fishnet tights on a bloke here, these things are utterly unisex, genderless. I'm trying to work out how the male 'cowl' option is so masculine as to be offensive on women.
And I brought my diving equipment this time, so I won't even drown when you sods let this thread sink to the bottom! HA!
Also, I will level my usual threat I extended to the City of Heroes dev team, in that I will find out where your offices are and stand outside screaming the name of whoever is responsible for the costumes, in the style of Achilles from Troy, until I gain satisfaction in honourable combat! >: (
