A huge problem with this game is the lack of male glamour options. A lot of glamours are catered towards women, and usually male glamours are treated as an afterthought. By this I mean that the devs start by creating female glamours (which is why they often look nicer) then tweak it to fit the male body. But because the original design is designed for the female body it looks weird on the male body. Because of this, men have become part of the glamour minority which pushes a lot of otherwise male-presenting folks to play as Miq'otes, Au'ras, and Vieras. This wouldn't be so if people are treated it equally when it comes to glamour options. Unfortunately glamour discrimination is real and 80% of glamours are catered towards women. I hope the next expansion will devote more resources towards creating male glamours. One solution could be to learn from Maple Story 2 and allow artists to create custom glamours that anyone can use. This will free up dev time and allow men to create their own glamours instead of using female glamour that has been haphazardly modeled to fit the male body.
