I've never heard that, but as far as I'm concerned, if a girl agrees to that request, she has no grounds to accuse the "purchaser".

 

 

 

I do believe that Jagex are partialy sexist (or at least inconsiderate), as when female players wear clothes, they reveal much of their body. Whether this is becuase Jagex expects male players to want to look at females in scanty armour, or because they expect females to wan to dress revealingly, it is still prejudiced.

 

 

 

Please prove this accusation, I cannot imagine how can just having a few pixel less can be too revealing for female sprites. I have used female account and found no "revealing" clothing.

 

 

 

I am not saying that they are overly revealing; what I am saying is that they show more of the body than male clothes, and that Jagex are catering to a percieved desire of this by either male, female, or both genders of players.

-.- dude its not "sexist" :shame:

 

most skirts have some of the best def/att/str bonus

 

 

 

veracs has one of the best def bonuses for legs...

 

guthan the same as verac

 

both of them are skirts

 

armadyl best range bonus for legs (i think :? )

 

bandos tassets seccond best str bonus in the game (the best is also held by a SKIRT!)

 

karils skirt one of the best if not the best mage bonus

 

i can think of sooooo many other skirts that it my hands would start hurting :lol: :mrgreen:

d'hide bodys?

I think the only reason is that MMORPGs such as runescape appeal more to boys than girls and so there are therefore more boys than girls playing runescape, which means the prices of "male" clothing will be greater than the prices of "female" clothing.

I often wear skirts, nobody insulted me so far. Like xdarkkarilx said: skirts have the best bonuses.

Nope, skirts have as same bonus as platelegs, only difference is in weight.

i don't know if anyone remembers,

 

but a REALLY long time ago, there used to be a guy in varrock who would change the 'gender' of the armor. like he would make legs into skirts and back again, and there was also a 'female' version of the platebodies.

 

 

 

it was all for free.

 

 

 

if they would introduce this back into the game, the legs price would DROP and the skirt price would rise a little until it found a happy medium about a quarter of the way up between skirts and legs.

 

Yes, I dont understand why they ever removed Thrandor. With him in game, price for legs and skirts will stay the same.

 

 

 

From the very beginning of the game (yes I have been around from the start), Jagex only made legs when they introduced new metal armour. First legs only of the basic metals. Girls complained, and there was skirts. Legs only of the trimmed treasure trail armour. Girls complained, and they added skirts. Dragon legs only... girls complained, and Jagex made skirts... So yeah, they are sexist imo!

 

 

 

Add Thrandor back in game, to let the amount of skirts versus legs in game be exactly what demand is and to let them be equally expensive, that is what I dream of.

I know but I was talking about, veracs skirt, Armadyl etc.

I can only repeat what everyone said so far: the skirt-to-legs exchange was a win/win thing that is pretty pointless to remove.

Scottish soldiers were feared throughout the land... mainly because of the kilt thing... other armies thought they were either insane or crazed women... doesn't matter though because they were as tough as nails! During world war 1 the germans called the Highland brigade "Devils in Skirts". Not in anyway relevant but interesting none the less. Also if you want to wear a skirt... just say it's your heritage and If you get slagged then call the person anti-Scottish... doesn't matter where you come from Scottish people spread like wild fire and everyone apparantly has a Scottish relative. At least every american tourist I've ever met tells me they're scottish! :evil:

I'm almost positive that male accounts can wear plate skirts buddy. The diff in price is cause there are more males then females in Runescape so demand for plate legs is higher, supply and demand. I do remember a time though when plate skirts used to have less def stats then legs. :shame:

= Guys can wear the chainskirt (i have one). Also, the skirt costs less because of demand. Most people like the d legs for the looks, so the price is higher. The d skirt is not wanted as much, but it has around the same supply as the d legs (Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the drop rates for the d skirt and d legs the same?). Less people want the d skirt, so the price dropped

just look at it this way, its not a skirt its a plate kilt. :lol:

 

 

 

exactly scottish wannabes ftw :thumbsup:

does it not view that girls cant make as much money as boys? does it view that they intend runescape to be harder for males than females?

 

 

 

Wow, I've never seen such bad explanations :lol:

 

 

 

It's just supply and demand.

 

 

 

 

 

You cannot spell, so i will not even go on about the lack of reading skills you hold within. He is quite clearly asking questions for others to coment on, to bring out possible reasons. I bet that some of the females on here may hold that oppinion, he is literally trying to get people thinking. He is in no way stating he thinks that is the reason.

 

 

 

Supply and demand is a reasonable reason, however, in the real world, it would be because less material was used to make it :lol:

as you all know, plateskirts are the same defense, offense, fense-fense, as plate legs. correct me if im wrong. yet, the cost less, and only girls can wear them, correct me if im wrong again. doesnt that link to a sexist runescape?

i'd like opinions please.

 

 

 

 

 

im a man myself, i just lie to think about these things.

 

1) If you mean dragon skirts/legs, yes skirt costs less. In the case of rune, I'm pretty sure they are either equal or legs cost less.

 

2) You're confusing cause an effect. Instead of starting a flame war by assuming that Jagex is sexist because skirts are cheaper, consider that most males are idiots and would rather have "coolness" over practicality. More guys play runescape than girls. therefore, the legs are in higher demand. It should be quite obvious why dragon platelegs are more expensive than plate skirts.

 

3) guys can still wear skirts. Ever heard of kilts? \

first of all some of the best looks are with skirts (god skirts or veracs skirt + torso combo is hawt )

 

 

 

and secondly who cares if you are made fun of it a game jeez if they dont make fun of you for that will find something else to make fun of you for if they want

 

 

 

o and thirdly... guys in skirts is hawt

It's simply people's immaturity that says males can't wear skirts in the game. If person A didn't have as much as Person B and had to settle for a plateskirt instead of platelegs, I wouldn't feel the need to insult them. I just don't see why other people should..

 

 

 

Also, as someone previously mentioned there's more male accounts and even a lot of girls use platelegs instead of plateskirts, which means if more people want them they're obviously going to be more.

just look at it this way, its not a skirt its a plate kilt. :lol:

 

 

 

exactly scottish wannabes ftw :thumbsup:

 

 

 

But kilts aren't plate... they're plaid.

If youre a girl, you get better drops in GWD. (Been tested so cant argue!)

 

Real men wear skirts + pink btw. which equal those weird useless pink skirts? :?

They're not useless, you need one in the Prince Ali quest.

I think its because more men play rs then woman.

Plateskirts cost less that Platelegs simply because less people wear Plateskirts. There are more boys then girls, and the majority of boy would rather wear the platelegs than the plateskirt. Jagex has nothing to do with that price, the fact that more boys than girls play Runescape has made that price, nothing sexist at all.

 

 

 

Also, some girls prefer playing on male accounts and even those who play on female accounts prefer to wear platelegs, so they don't get boys wolf whistling at their pixel legs. (experienced it, very very funny).

Also, platelegs don't have clipping issues with capes.

The majority of RuneScape is male (or at least pretending to be).

 

 

 

Guys generaly seem to have larger issues with wearing skirts than girs do wearing pants. Girls wearing pants (versus a dress or skirt) is no longer shooking or against the law, and does not make you a 'tom boy'. On the other hand, guys wering skirts (note that kilts are entirely different) is considered anything form unmanly to creepy to being a cross dresser. Its just considered to be wrong.

 

 

 

The point is that guys don't wan't to wear a skirt, its like wearing a personal insult. Since most players are guys, and guys don't wan't skirts, there is a serious lack of demand. Now people here are probably sick of people throwing supply and demmand around like the be all and end all of economics, but in this case it is the explanation.

 

 

 

Also, as many people have probably pointed out this is not classic and guys can wear skirts. Also, in the npc shops, the price for legs and skirts is actualy identical.

Eh, I prefer platelegs just because of the looks. But during clan wars or PKing I'll wear a skirt because they are lighter.

 

 

 

They are both 10KG or did you mean cheaper lol
