That doesn't mean what you think it means. An Ad Hominem attack is an attempt to win an argument about one thing by making personal attacks about something unrelated. I am, in fact, stating that anyone who defends that screenshot of the Elin, and the game which encapsulates it, as a morally repugnant individual. So, it's not an ad hominem argument; it's actually my argument.
Actually you're just being a goose and should probably drop it, apologizing would be cool too but I wouldn't expect it given your attitude.

What attitude is that, now? Disappointment that portions of this community continue to accept sexism that pushes us so far backward in gaming that it blows my mind? Or the extreme distaste for people embracing what is still a disturbingly disgusting facet of the art of a game that no one should accept or promote?
Gaming has been making huge strides lately in being more open to people, regardless of gender. Seeing this tripe over and over is frustrating. I'm reminded of the comics making fun of the witch toucher game for the DS, and wonder how this is any different.

You make a very valid point, and such a discussion should warrant it's own thread instead of cluttering up this one.

I don't get it.. So you're just gonna pretend that part of the game doesn't exist? You either support the game or you don't. You find an entire race disturbingly disgusting and believe no one should accept it or promote it? Sounds like this isn't the game for you.

He doesn't play. He just posted a screen of a different country's version of the game for the sake of a perfectly valid discussion topic that should go in Debate and Discourse and not the screenshot thread.
Because it should be made clear we don't want the thread locked because one person can't keep things on topic.
...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
I would ask that you all maybe be a bit more considerate of others when posting the more...TERA screenshots (for lack of a better word). I know an MMO screenshot thread probably isn't work safe by most standards, but a few of the recent screens would be considered NSFW anywhere else on the forum. Maybe just link with a warning instead.
I'm not singling out TERA here. The slave outfit screens from TOR would fall under this as well.
Today at work I discovered there are slave outfits in TOR. I will properly investigate when I get home... probably won't post screens.
They social vendor is in the bar on Nar Shaddas I believe.
If you did a bit, you can find the screens I posted. I was both amused and disturbed that they let me tank in a bikini.
The worst part is that modding all that shit was way more expensive than I realized, and it took a while for me to afford the cash to switch to that sweet social set from Corellia.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Did they ever add alternate ways to get social rank? I like my alt but one of the reasons (of which the list was long) I quit was that it was simply unrealistic to ever reach my main's social rank, as I'm never going to get other people to spend a hundred hours doing all quests with me again
For social ranks you got to be....social so that means teaming up with people where you make choices.
Most people just run the first big ship thing your put into when you get off the fleet for either faction be it Black Talon or Essles with a person or two to get it up.
So there was this random staircase of platforms that curved around a mountain and led to nowhere. Finding this out, I mounted my Narnia lion and jumped to my not death...as you can't die from fall damage you see.
And yes you cannot see it well but I am fully clothed in a kick ass body suit. We elves have more class than the lesser races.

The Secret World NDA-less beta starts this weekend. I'll try to get some screenshots for you guys. Not sure how good it'll look but it wont look like trash.

No idea what that means since I've never played TERA. But if I apply known MMO law, that's probably inappropriate armor for a warrior class and while it looks cool is not functional.

First, I want this fur coat:
That big stick in the background? That's an ax. I have no clue what the deal is with it but I wanna find out.
Kaiator, the Amani city.
More incredible detail:
And some Tier 7 Castanic metal armor:
Hopefully I can get some screens of my own up in here in the next couple of days.

Just outside of the lvl 41 Dungeon, looking up from ground level.
See, if I could play a character that looked that pimping, I'd actually be okay with TERA.

Probably something they'll sort out eventually

I will go take some pics of it tonight.

This screenshot actually gets me interested in the game. The character and style of armor actually screams "berzerker" to me.
