It kind of annoys me how people complain about the "skirts". They should really look into the history of armor before complaining. Maybe then they will understand.
I think its funny to see 12 year olds shouting "Y R FGHTRZ WERING SKIRTZ?! TATZ SO GAYYYY!!!11". I'm not too fond of the "kilt" though, looks weird. Then again... i'm not too fond of any of the armor the classes get until level 30+.
