Then there is even better reason for EME to step up and do this, like Jtera.
PS: Weapon skins are just awful too, was close to counter punch my screen. I mean, Axe, Staff, what the heck.
Jtera doesn't "do" any of the work themselves either, beyond maybe concept art in some cases. BHS still does all the work for creating the costumes. So unless BHS has a financial interest in designing costumes that cater specifically to NA tastes for some reason, they won't do it.
Then, with this route soon, many stop spending golds and money even on cosmetics. it is a fact, recently there are not much hype and activity around costume and mount selling in CH and we all know CH cares for cosmetic more than any other server.
I'm pretty sure no one is more acutely aware of this than EME and BHS, since they directly see the sales numbers every day and are counting on this revenue to pay their salaries. Personally, I agree that these latest costumes do nothing for me, but all we can do is "don't like, don't buy." On the whole, they'll tend to make more of what people are buying, at least globally.
The sad reality is that we (players and publisher) often speak about wanting more realistic or less overtly sexualized costumes, but I can stand in Velika all day long and not see anyone wearing the practical armor costumes.
I am happy to pass on player feedback to Bluehole. The TERA team speaks to them weekly and communicates daily. We are one region out of many, however, and Bluehole will develop the items they feel will sell the best across all territories. I do expect things will improve.
?
almost every costume has been given out for free or included as part of some event at some point
the only ones that haven't are extremely recent ones but even that doesn't ever hold true for long

Not to say exactly that, but you get the idea.
I like the oversized oriental arm sleeves as well and the form fitting corset top that leads down to a sweeping long one piece cover in back and front with thigh high boots... anyway, you asked lol.
Just my opinion. Love to see those kinda styles.
Would wear it if it was cheaper. Kinda hella pricey though.
the hanboks were done really well, they were detailed and you can tell work went into the rigging and they're not just a skintight mess. immersion is already out the window with so many aspects of this game; if i'm gonna shell out for something from the cash shop, it's because i want something that doesn't look like fashion coupon outfits. and if people are paying real cash for these, it stands to reason they want to see more effort put into these costumes than we've been getting lately.
