Please dont kill the messenger

First of all, I love all rogues, especially not in pvp (lol). This is a furious class and sometimes I wish I'd started out with that one. But... today I worked on signature banner for a friend and while I was blowing the screenshot up to cut it out I saw. This. Just look at it.

Seriously, Devs, Designers. Hoofes?!?

Glad somebody else noticed. That's why with all my love for the stealthy voluptuousness of the night assasin suit, I cannot bear to wear it lately. :(

Umm.. just to give you a little bit of cultural insight - those are not hooves. They are special cloth-made boots called jikatabi, which were worn by stealth fighters (shinobi) in feudal Japan. The fabric between the large toe and other four toes is seamed with thread, so they could use their feet more dexterously. STG deserves a round of applause if anything for capturing this historical accuracy with ancient clothing.

No problem. And for what it's worth, "tabi" socks are still worn today in many Asian countries. In Korea, we actually have socks where all five toes are individually seamed. They are very comfortable :)

Oh we have those too, in germany, i mean the 5 toe variant. Im now living in the us and here i only saw those rubber surfer-shoes with seamed toes.

but, to defend my ignorance, the feet of the rogues look more like hoofes than divided big-toe/small-toes.
Just for entertainment ;)

Or a naked pink butt. I ended up buying vanities just with the purpose of hiding our undesirable lower body. Lol

If there is anything to point out, it should be those freakishly knobby knees! :-)
