Hi to everyone.

I'm posting here because I am a bit dispointed by something that happent to me (and probably to some others) regarding the new "clothing market".

Some days ago, I bought a female top with the AUR I won. The problem is that I'm actually unable to wear it since my character is a male (as I am in real life). I contacted a GM and he told me there would be some technical difficulties to let male character wear female clothing.

I see this a bit as sexism. Maybe it is not, but this is how I feel about that situation.

So tell me guys, what do you think about this situation? Does anyone as any idea that would help to solve this technical problem?

Thank you very much for your great support.

Pay more AUR for a sex change.

Problem solved.

I'm happy with my male body and would like to keep it.

Justify there's a demand for cross dressing first. Help decide wether there is really a need to devote time and investment towards doing it?

create a female toon and give her the NEX clothes?

I mean, seriously ...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I'm confused. Moustache screams YMCA, but the Village People weren't into cross dressing.

What's wrong about being a man feeling good in women clothing? I like to wear some, it makes me feel sexy. I'm certain there is some other boys out there who feel like me. If we were enough, I'm certain we could change things, but how much will it take!?

Do you think a petition would do the job!?

Maybe try for a one-on-one interview with a developer, try some sexy suspender leg show, soon win them round I guess?

I'm pretty sure you're in the minority there... more than 2 standard deviations out...

IRL whatever floats your boat...
In EVE, whatever makes CCP money, which means there have to be enough buyers to justify paying a coder to do it.

I certainly don't see it being a priotity anytime soon - I doubt they'll get the balance just right after this next expansion, and they'll have more work to do.

Personally, I'm more annoyed that the clothing textures appear to be one sided...
The skirt with the slit... you should be able to see the skirt on the other side of her legs... yet there is nothing, its as if the only side of the skirt that exists is the side facing the camera.
