Will removing the walk make many female players more happy with design of their characters? Will removing the walk make many women not feeling hurt? Yes.

Of course, because women feel more hurt by it because it degrades them in some kind. I am sure most men actually like the way female characters are walking.

I know some males that can be very emotional in game. They yell around and tend to insult people that don't do what they want them to do....
You do nothing more than feeding a stereotype about women here.

Fortunately, there is no reason to use the walk feature in almost any case.

I agree on both of this.

Problem with this new walking animation is that it is designed in a way how men want women to walk. That's why many women feel reduced to some kind of sex object.

So women should not be allowed to vote?

I agree that the walking animation is a little overdone. I wouldn't call it slutty though.

It'd be fine if it were just toned down a little. Some flair in the movement makes it look more interesting, and I would still choose this over the old walking which looked a little awkward.

I think the sitting animation is actually worse, that looks like such an uncomfortable way to sit.

I agree that if the new walk was 'toned down' it would be ok. As it is now the hip swaying and boobie shaking is highly exaggerated.

As is, they walk like cheap whores.

I had to support sexual oriented comments from spanish boys last night. That was the first time ever in this game. I felt very, very bad about this. (These kids were speaking in Spanish and thought I didn't understand, but Spanish is close to French so I had the main idea). (Val, it was when whe took Shana with Sprell, Athena, Tharla and Nylann).

For people saying 'I hope you'll see nothing worse in your life', I want to answer you this. I've been sexualy assault IRL and it was easier to deal. Knowing that in my contry, 2.5% of women are sexualy assault and 1.5% are raped EACH YEAR, I think I'm not the only one to 'over'react.

I don't know if this behavior is related to the new walk but I'm sure the new walk doesn't help. I have nothing against sluts/whores/girls who want to be sexually attractive. Sometimes I take my leggins off for fun in the game, but I want my walk to be fonctional. Even the sexiest warrior ever doesn't walk like that ! (2:15)

I'm an argentinean female. It's true that argentinean males aren't that machist, and NGD always were very respectful to their female players, as well as taking them in account and I think that's why this community has such a high number of women.

I think there is a conceptual mistake between being feminine/sexy and to look like a slut, they are totally two different concepts. The game itself has female archer characters that look sexy and can take off their breastplate to look even more slutty, but that's something that players are able to choose if they want to do or not. Women use miniskirts and that's why some members of the female community are asking for them, but nearly none of them walks like a model in a catwalk, and that's because if one of them walks like that all men would be trying to hit on her. Women of Argentina are feminine and tend to smarten up a lot, but they never walk like that in their lives, because if they do they would have a crowd of men staring at her like an easy prey.

When I first saw the walking animation the day before releasing it on the exp server, my first reaction was like 'What a slut!' and then it turned a bit funny, but I did take in account the males of Regnum community and said that with this change we female players will not be able to walk anymore because all the men would try to hit on us more often than they do nowadays.

Everybody knows that ingame women have to cope with drooling men trying to hit on you and you could figure out that by yourself making a female character with a female name and just leveling it for 2 days. Many men choose to make a female char to use them to get gold, items and other stuff taking advantage of the other horny men. And if that isn't true, then why the 'Buitre señal'?

In my opinion, if it's not necessary to walk at all in game like you said, then why did you actually changed the animation? This walking animation will just make us female players to be more molested by male players.
