Yes, another skimpy transmog outfit. How is any of this considered mail? Totally hot if you like female orcs. I think.

Seriously, what? Thong-pants and a chain bra. -.-

er... magical force-fields? ;)

I agree some of them are obscenely ridiculous. More old sets than new ones, thankfully. Sometimes I get the impression that there's a (small) subset of the art team that are oversexed young guys that design only with female models in mind ;)

Oh gods yes.

And... this is plate?

Maybe 'plate' in the sense of two bread plates and a napkin.

And it's called "Lofty Plate" too. Maybe they meant as in it lifts as well as separates.

Rofl.
A lot of really skimpy armor makes me laugh, just because it's so useless. "YES! I can avoid being stabbed… umm… In three places. That aren't fatal."

Though, think of it this way. You're fighting people with huge clubs and even giants. A ton of armor is just going to add a bit more metal to the gushy mess your character really should be after a few fights. xD Clearly, we have force fields.

Those armor sets remind me of this old comic (technically SFW though racy):

I'm almost disappointed that the skimpy armor sets are only skimpy on female characters. I'd find it kind of amusing to transmog my male Tauren warrior's plate into a battle thong.

the second picture is an incomplete set that has no leg armor that can compliment to the look.

Look closer at the attendees in the background. I don't think it was a kids' kind of faire ;)

I'm pretty sure Mania wants to keep our conversations here body positive. It's certainly my preference.
