This is not some silly hunter bug. It’s a real issue.

It’s scary when bigotry infiltrates video games to that level…

Waw, that’s actually a silly thing to change.
Lemme call up the boys, we entering Blizzard Support Chat in full force.

From what I understand it is a bug created by forgetting they changed her outfit from free-spirited pants to longer sailor pants when she became part of the 1k Barge crew with Cata’s Sh*ttering.
So it is more attributable to rushing Classic than some weird policy (weird, as hot pants were an actual women’s lib thing, like bra burning) than anything else.
Now, if they won’t fix this, or if the cute Gnome on the island near Tanaris has her pants changed as well (for driving mad the poor sod in The Burning Steppes, perhaps), then there might be an actual agency behind this all.
After all, daisy dukes are meaning no harm.

How could they forget? They just migrated database automatically, including old models and everything else. They must have changed that intentionally. I don’t see how it could be other way.
It wasn’t just one button click to make everything look the way it looked like in vanilla.

I don’t know, that is what I understood from the US Thread on the subject and like I said other models have (had?) daisy dukes as well - up to this day in Retail afaik - while Daisy actually had a pants change with Cata.
Though your reading is of course also possible, considering they may have tinkered with some Loot tables from popularized farming spots (apparently swamp cats in SoS drop fewer greys than was the case during Vanilla, according to Thotbott of the time, for example).
Watched a machinima yesterday and realised exactly how scantily clad dryads are in this game. They literally walk around in leaf bras. This would be an extremely weird to change intentionally in comparison.

It’s very, very gratifying to see you continue to use this particular portamento. You’ve shown an admirable level of consistency between 2011, when I first started reading your posts until now.
I can do no less than follow your example, and will thus continue to use the term “Crapaclysm”.
Together we shall purge the wretched thing from history.
(and seriously, good to hear from you again after all this time. I re-subbed two weeks ago, after seven years away from all things WoW related, and it’s good to see a familiar face. Danellos was around earlier too).
its not a very good image of women when men dont have these pants wow has a better image of women and Kork is proud of it. woudnt want my mom, grandma or my sister or future daughter to be forced by society to wear this pants or be pressered into it by a nerd who thinks this is how women should look like.
dont revert, proud of you blizz

If it were up to me there would be no gender exclusive clothing. Everybody would wear the same olive-green dungarees, and peaked caps with ‘Here to make your day just that bit more pleasant’ embossed upon them.
Try on any item called a “loincloth” and then combine it with a chestpiece marked as a “harness”. Now tell me the men don’t get skimpy outfits.

i kinda like those too and i kinda like the scrappy ones like the boots thats sandal and also the rugged and torn clothes but if some1 woud walk in bikini vs swords, daggers, arrows, biting animals, fire, ice and shadow magic i think it would be very non efficient
Thank you for the kind words.
However, because of the way Blizzard has IMO (badly) handled Classic - which to me also has implications for its future - ranging from the Realm/Server issues to the exploits to the cronysim to the lack of RP Servers where the ToS are upheld to general overcrowding - I have already let one Account run out and this one will suffer the same fate unless Blizz shows signs of improvement.
Pretty much like subbing early for the Naming Reservation and Stress Test was a sign of placing trust in them and encouragement, in the limited way that a single customer can.
Except hot pants/daisy dukes were never ‘forced upon women by society’ but actually a sign of cultural revolt against patriarchy-imposed modesty norms coming from women themselves.
And calling Daisy Duke ‘oppressed’ is so laughable it can only be said by someone completely unfamilliar with The Dukes of Hazzard TV show, where Daisy was basically the one running circles around everybody - and to whom the WoW character Daisy from 1k is a reference to.

Sorry to hear that.
In my particular case I don’t care much about any of the exploits I’ve read about, as they only seem to affect the uber hardcore progression raiders, and given that my character is still in the low 20s (and in no mood to speed up) it’s not really a concern for me. In the unlikely event I ever rekindle my interest in raiding further down the line I suspect these layering abuse issues will be long fixed,
I’m on Hydraxian Waterlords, and I’ve not personally experienced much in the way of overcrowding. Sure zones have plenty of people in them, but this (to me at least) actually feels like a positive thing. Didn’t think it would, given that I’m an antisocial git who prefers to quest alone and hates having to compete for tags - but I’m surprised to discover that I like it. It feels like WoW used to feel, back when I first started. To me the number of players in each zone has felt just right so far - not packed to the extent that I can’t get anything done, but with just enough people to make them seem full of life.
I’ve actually found myself grouping up far more than I imagined I would, and enjoying that grouping up.
Found, and taken part in some RP, but not a huge amount. Having said that I’m not actively hanging around capital cities looking for it - I’m enjoying the general levelling too much. All the encounters I’ve had so far have been in the open world, such as me joining with a team of fellow Night Elves in Ashenvale, and taking down a named demonic Orc in character, as a group of Sentinels.
The issue of ToS not being upheld on RP servers stretches all the way through my WoW career, right back to 2006. It’s always been like that as far as I can remember. I don’t believe that them not being upheld on Classic is a new thing. We do what we can, but ultimately it’s the same age-old problem that’s been discussed at length over the years.
Not sure about the cronyism - or at least I’ve not encountered any. I’m Not precisely sure what you’re referring to; so maybe it’s an issue that I’ve just not learned about yet.
I do believe this a very important issue that I definitely noticed before reading this thread and definitely care strongly about now that I’ve read it.

I subscribed from the Naming Reservation/Stress Test onwards so that may partially explain our different experiences, as well as the Night Elf Zones just being Too Damn Big for my tiny Gnome legs (had this discussion with a irl friend why on Earth he would level a non-Druid Nelf in Darkshore/Ashenvale, you can get Tiger Riding as Nelf easily so no need to walk about so much - or at least complain about it to me 
).
It has died down, sure, but it still feels to me rather crowded but admitted I prefer Low Pops (in original Retail terms, not the Newspeak version where ‘High’ is the new ‘Low’).
But that is not my biggest issue, of course, it is more that I am very wary of Blizz, which also has to do with fighting for so many years for actual MMORPG values and the Vanilla content that came closest to it, being derided etc. for it (turns out you can even issue ‘go kill yourself’ style of remarks to me without getting banned, go figure), and then see Blizz act in ways I don’t find trust-inspiring.
In other words, for me at least Classic represented A New Hope but all things bundled together (there are other Theads that delve more into this) that Hope is pretty damaged and holding your wallet is the only way that sends a message, sadly.
Back to the topic at hand though:
Hiss, spit, give Daisy her free-spirited pants back!
