From a pure combat point of view, this doesn’t make sense… Yes i know, sex sells. But if giving women fully clothed armor keeps the kiddies away, I’m all for it. But that’s not the focus of why I posted.

Exceptions? When a game takes place in an age where there is little armor coverage such as Conan. I have no idea about the game, but at least Arnold sported only a rag about his twig and berries. It would be believable then that a women in armor would be dressed similarly.

But mainly, if as a male, I am dressed in heavy armor and you can’t even see my face let alone any skin, then why would a female have heavy Boots, a heavy armor thong and bikini, and gloves? … more importantly, offer the same protection rating as the full on heavy armor guy?

Again, the sex sells thing?… it’s not a good enough excuse. Not as long as the rational part of my brain exists. And since I gave WoW up a long time ago, I still have a rational brain cell somewhere.
