There are some people who don't like players running around in platekinis, or other revealing outfits, but how do you feel about them? Are you someone who would use them, or not bothered by people who use them, or believe such options should not be allowed?

My only beef is if the revealing nature is one-sided (i.e. only one gender is capable). The revealing nature in and of itself... if that bothers you, you shouldn't be on the internet, never can visit the beach/pool/etc, never watch TV, look at a magazine cover (any), and possibly should never leave your house.
With that out of the way, as long as there is gender equality to be revealing, I'm all for it.
<Gets onto the Final Fantasy XIV horse again> Square Enix does a very good job of this. Here is an article that talks about it and shows some examples. It never ceases to amaze me to see the degree of fashion. But the equality of it is what I think is the key to avoiding social injustice. One does *not* have to do it, but if male or female wishes to wear a bikini or mankini... more power to them.
This is a funny parody music video with catchy lyrics.

Other: I was more or less unaware this was a thing until seeing that post.
It doesn't bother me in the slightest, but I probably won't use them myself. Not because I'm against them, but because it wouldn't really fit with my current character. If I start another toon someday, and actually figure out what transmogs are, I might use one. Doing Crossfit in RL I often feel I'm the only person there without a severe clothing allergy, so half naked people don't even register on my radar anymore...
Hahaha, Silynn. The day just started and I am quite sure that's the funniest video I'll see today, maybe even all week. How did that only get less than 10k views in almost a year?
Edit: watching for the fifth time in a row now. Send help.

I hate that this is a question.
Some people get offended by revealing armor and a company takes the decision to remove the ability to use them from ALL players. Where does this end? I get offended by people who play Rogues (nearly as much as people calling them Rouges). Blizz please remove Rogues by the end of the week, thanks!
Stephen Fry said it best.
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so ♥♥♥♥ing what."
And this bloke also said it well.
"What happens if you say that and someone gets offended?
Well, they can be offended. What's wrong with being offended?
When did 'Sticks and stone, may break my bones' stop being relevant?"
People should just learn to be offended... it's fine. Move on... but stop trying to define what is and isn't offensive because it's a never ending black hole.

I couldn't care less without dropping dead. Wear what you want. People who get offended about pixels, need to get over themselves and their backwards sensibilities. There are a lot of things wrong in the world, why worry about something so incredibly pointless?

I’m all for people voicing their opinion, however to me I still go by the “if you don’t like it then you don’t have to wear it” mantra. That may just be me though, I play female characters mostly and I prefer looking at the less clothed characters of mine (not in a creepy way mind you), but I also fall into the WoW demographic, lol. Just my two cents...

Transmog wise, nothing that could be done (without modding) in World of Warcraft was ever "creepy" in my eyes. It's pixels and even if some of the armor sets are hella revealing they're no more revealing that what can be seen on TV, on billboards and on the internet already.
It's almost like the beauty of the human body gets used to sell products every where since for ever... drawing lines in the sand to determine what is and isn't acceptable is a fruitless endevour as it will just prompt people to want to move that line all the time.
What I don't get is why WoW doesn't allow for this problem to be solved client side: Don't want to see slutmogs? Tick a tickbox in the settings and all characters are now wearing armor that fully covers the body. Could just be the "default" armor set for their class/level.
Blizzard could even implement a system where you have different armor sets in your transmog UI. One "FFA" and one for "PG12" or something... By default the PG12 armor is the default for your class but if you want to update it, you can.
Guildwars two already has 3 different layers for clothing/armor as far as I am aware: Armor, Clothes and Crafting Gear.
With this system everyone gets what they want.. people who want to slutmog and see other people's slutmugs can, people who want to see only fully clothed characters also can and everyone gets to transmog their chars twice. How cool is that?

That would be a neat idea! I don't like the idea that just because a small group of people don't like something, that everyone should be forced to follow those rules. If it's not hurting anyone, why should it be a problem? Also, a lot of people who are against slutmogs think that it's old men who wear them, when in actuality, a lot of women do! Crazy!

Some MMOs that I have tried and played *do* have a feature sort of like that. But it was very basic and I think done more for latency/FPS issues than for "preserving" sensitivities. These were in games were you'd have 100-vs-100 type pvp matches and one could toggle a setting to put everyone in basic class (plate/mail/leather/cloth) type armor with your side's color (Blue or Red).
So the basic technology/coding is there, but it may not be worthwhile (time and labor wise) to implement everywhere. I would think it would be more cost effective to just limit certain servers to "Prude-Mode" or "Slutmog-Mode" (Three's term). Let the players decide where they want to be. Protected sensitivities or enhanced (shrug) sensitivities.

That's actually a good idea. Besides PvE, PvP combined or not with RP, create some OS or EO servers.
