The scantily clothed women of the World of Warcraft

Yesterday, we brought you the burning question of why Draenei women have, err, healthy backsides. Today, we’ll be delving into the World of Warcraft‘s scantily clothed women.

While some people (or men in general) would not be opposed to the women characters in the World of Warcraft lacking in clothes, some still think that there must be something of a conspiracy going on around the developers’ circle. Elizabeth Wachowski from WoW Insider has written a very amusing article about this and we’ve stopped to wonder as well. How come the female avatars seem to have less protection from the elements and the crushing blows of enemies and monsters? The fashion statement (of Elves and Draenei mostly) won’t really be wise in a world when you’re always in danger of being mauled by a bear or an infernal for example.

Some of the outfit-slash-armor even defy physics and gravity itself. And how do the pieces of fur stay on? They seem to be held up by magic and… and… Nothing else, so it seems. Really, would that protect any person from a horde of Devilsaurs? Or how about winter? Surely if the said pieces of armor aren’t magically equipped with heaters, then the wearers would have suffered from hypothermia or pneumonia.

Do you think there’s a secret cult of devs that cook up these kind of things – from Blizzard or others? Any thoughts?
