What?! Are your virtual shoes hurting your virtual feet? If I log in and start seeing men weatring heals, bras, and panties I'm leaving the game. Here's a clue for you, bras are uncomfortable too - that doesn't mean I want them removed from the game or worse.. added to the male wardrobe..

I am simply amazed at the level of assumptions that is simply whizzing by here.

We are gracefully accepting as commonplace that we are immortal pilots among the stars themselves, controlling spacecraft able to be countered only by others like us.

Why would anyone think high heels were uncomfortable...?

Perhaps they DO resemble the shoes worn by the primitives of ancient Earth. I am sure many things have an appearance that suggests inspiration from before the dawn of our history in New Eden.

FACT: High heels are perfectly comfortable, as are all footwear worn by pilots for our publicity images.
If you want discomfort, wake up in a med-clone on the wrong side of the galaxy from your assets.

And as for being sexist, we do not live in those caves either. Preposterous idea.

Those shoes represent the dominance of women over sexuality itself, boasting to all others that they have both the genetic enhancements as well as the divine evolution to spin men's minds in helpless circles.

Just by wearing shoes.

Fine. By all means, please do exorcise your right to diminish yourself in the eyes of your peers, and would be admirers...
Take them off.

You are a female capsuleer. If you did not want to impress men, the mistake was in being born a goddess over them.

All of us, men and women, represent the apex of perfection possible in humanity.

We are the gods raining down the fires from the skies above. We are the immortal icons for mortal dreams of power and glory.

It is not our place to care what lesser beings think of us. That is their burden to bear.

Do not demean yourself by stepping down from the altar they place you on.
It is our birthright to be worshiped and envied for who we are.

I personally like my height enhancers.

If you want to stay a midget stick with your pair of free sketchers.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

Do you also complain about the perfection of your feet? After all, you have only two.

What about your legs, curved and evolved to drive all men mad, surely they are a source of countless fantasies with these dude people you spoke of.

When it comes right down to it, your entire form is one divine weapon to confuse and overwhelm the minds of mortal men.

How can you so easily despair over our place in things. We have a role to play in this universe, clearly defined.

When mortals see a stop sign, they stop.
When said mortals see a sign to proceed, they go.

And when the mortal men see your divine form, they dream. This 'Dude' tribe is surely no exception.

They follow the edicts fate set for them. Your thoughts are above such petty concerns by birthright.

Let them then dream, and offer you proper worship as is their place for existing as lesser beings.

Well, nature intended this to be.... you know... procreation reasons.... like when birds have beautiful colors to attract the other gender... this is how things works... Stop complaining..... get used to it...


Also heels shouldn't be uncomfortable inside the pod and in the low gravity... also your avatar is probably not that heavy since CCP didn't planned for obese ones... and it will not have healthy problems because of heels and if it have just get poded and you have a new body....

So can we please let this topic die? we just need to stop posting here... and this will go bottom to the emptiness... lol

You think to mock my words, yet you near mock yourself in so trying.

These men of the dude tribe you spoke so much about, who by your responses are clearly beneath your notice.
I counsel you to forget them.
I say you waste too many of your divine thoughts by dwelling on their unworthy notice of you.

I would advise you should rather turn your attention somewhere more deserving, such as your next conquest.
Focus on this, and let the rest pass as should all such details too trivial for your notice.

I want to not wear heels and being forced into them is not cool regardless of how you decide I should feel about it.

It's nice that you feal strongly about women's rights, but i suggest you take care at whom you aim your charged remarked at. For example, there are some major weirdos here but Nikk for one is hilarious! Theres a difference betwean genuine intolerance and just poking fun. Nikk is doing the latter.

Besides in the scheme of things is it important that the women in CCP's game wear heals? I noticed it too and thought about it for 10 seconds, but there comes a point where you should just pick your battles, and this isnt really an important one. Thats just what some of thease punks are trying to say but they can't because articulation isnt their strong suit so they add lots of derogitory, inflamitory responses. In short your time is valuble and should not be wasted with forum posts like the one im posting.Big smile

A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.

Bio-mechanics. Changing this vie gen-tech or bio-implants would decrease run performance and why would any sane capsuler decrease his performance?
The fact stays: Does not make sense to have no option on this.

Here's a thought: If it upsets you as much as it seems to (I'm assuming you're not just a fat guy trolling) why don't you do one of two things: 1) switch off captains quarters or 2) go play some other game as if the avatar's shoes are upsetting you this much EvE might not be the right game for you.

Regarding your comment about women being marginalised; the only women I've ever met who were marginalised are those that have decided themselves that they're marginalised. Those that don't consider themselves marginalised aren't. It's a special kind of self-pity you're wallowing in.

Sorry, how can you possibly make that claim? In fact, one could assume that if the body is modified with gen-tech or bio-implants a side effect might be an increase in run performance. I can't claim this as fact because we simply don't know. You can't either but you seem to be trying to.

The fact stays: This is how the game is. The devs have explained why this is. Whine and complain all you like. They'll change it if it's technically plausible at some point in the future and not otherwise.

This is an outrage, STOP forcing men to wear shoes without heels.

And tinsel. There is NO tinsel or pearl necklace option for men OR women in the NEX.

CCP DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LADYBOYS!

This matriachic insanity must NOT continue. Why do only women get pony tails and breasts?!

There's an 'ism' here just waiting to be thrown around.

Give me panties not briefs!

GAH!

Though i do agree, it is discriminating to only put in high heels.

We are not talking here about complete reshaped humans, but about people who have the same bodyshapes as we have, therefore even with the possiblity of artificial improvements they are subject to the same mechanics as we are.
I can claim this because I understand bio-mechanics, you can enhance the body in other regards to compensate, but changing your legs in a way high heels do is reducing your run performance. You may still be faster than someone without this improvements though.

Anyway, I do not care much about this ingame, it does not make sense, but does not affect my enjoyment of the game at all. Spending resources for a free update of shoes is bad. CQ are mostly bad.

Though new shoes on the nex store I would buy for my female alts, *hint* *hint* there is money ccp. And donĀ“t make me laugh at you with monocle prices for a single pair ;-)

You appear to be contradicting yourself.

Be that as it may, it's still irrelevant. We're all pod pilots. We spend most of our time inside pods inside spaceships. Why would we give a toss whether we have good run performance or not?

I am also outraged that I have to be this muscular, smooth skinned, tight assed, hunk of a man! why are there no choices for horrible acne? why cant I have fat bulges that leak out of my pod capsule? I want my Avatar to mimic the fat ass, lazy, dirty slob that sits behind this computer and plays games all day! Also, why must all the cloths and hairstyles have to look so fashionable? If i want to be displayed in a white wing sauce and sweat stained tank top, I sure as hell should be able to! I am SO aggravated that when entering this game we are forced to "look good" CCP is obviously Cacophobic. Just look at ccp t0rfifrans with his handsome emotionless face and his stylish hairstyle-beard combo. He disgusts me... and also turns me on but that's not the point!
