Well, everyone shares different opinions about the leather clothes.
It should be a different post!
In my opinion, i would like a small change in the male leather clothes and make them a little more "Male".
I tried to wear the leather version on my avatar and could not really understand the style. So I just took them out...


Regarding the original post now (unisex armor and i include clothes), i think that it is just another parameter that crafters need to take in acount based on the market needs. Its an extra risk that the complexity of AW allows. It is defenatetly easier to have them unisex, but imagine that devs could also add another parameter which is size (S, M, L, XL, XXL, ....). That is more close to reality and will turn crafting to be more based on custom order... ofc this would be implemented only when the avatar creating system will be advanced.


just my thoughts...

The original issue was that I could find various combinations of male armor on the market however the female armor was sparse.
Though I can find players to craft female armor (by simply looking up the crafter of the male armor on the market and making a request) - it can be frustrating when one wishes to use the armor right away.
The clothes & armor disparity in gender is one of the few gender specific differences in the game - everything else seems to be gender balanced.

It can work in varying ways.
When i joined one of the very big MMOs my friend said to make a female avatar as the accessories like clothes/armor and weapons were cheaper because there was less demand.
Trends change as do economies and demographics.
Market forces can alter also, it's just that trends arent always long term when the player base is minimal and at levels of basically a game in Alpha phase.
