I can ignore some of the clipping, but not all of it. I did switch out my sin's original top (Revan's set) for dreadseed, because that hood clipping through her Lekku was driving me crazy.

oh and your outfit? my marauder is wearing almost exactly the same outfit, but with the handmaiden's skirt, the one that comes with leggings :P. she doesn't really get commentary either. though maybe its her facial tattoos and impressive Mohawk :P

and you know, neither do my other twi'leks including a shadow, that's wearing dancer top.

I give up trying to figure out what motivates the comments :/

P.S. outfits are extremely important to me. we're talking not just matching outfits together into something harmonic, but lightsaber and speeder have to match as well :P

I wanted to like the regal skirt but it's just too aggravating on my only female toon.
Back in Black (and redder)!

Now that I think about it, the only character I've been hit on as (as far as I can remember at least) was a female Twi'lek body type 4 too, but mine was wearing a slave girl outfit at the time lol.

None of my female toons in skimpy gear have ever been hit on.
Several of my fully clothed femtoons have been hit on.

Seems that if you want to avoid harassment, make them as naked as possible. And avoid girlie sounding names. Go for something neutral like Noscope-Pro-X etc.

Aaaaaaaactually... come to think of it, I do have one character that used to get weird flirts. Just doesn't stand out to me because I barely play her since Sorc is one of my least-favorite classes (sorry Sorcs!). Haven't logged her in for... gosh, months and months.

But I recall she got stuff like:
  • Someone randomly blurted out in a Group Finder FP (HM Mando) "[SWDN], I want to have sex with your character" (awkward)
  • A different FP (Czerka Labs) while we waited forever for someone to arrive and start a cutscene I was told (again in party chat) "[SWDN] I would have sex with you if you were real IRL" (awkward)
  • Whispers on Fleet every once in a while like "You're sexy"

This is a Human Sorcerer, dark latté skin, black hair, green eyes, an elegant/completely dignified Genteel Dress outfit dyed Red/Black, on a Red Spirit, with a giant green monster following me around.

Meanwhile my Type 1 Twi'lek Jugg in Slavegirl with lovely red buttocks flashing everywhere when I Force Charge, has never had anyone say anything, ever, at all. (Maybe it's the Respirator, Eradicator Gauntlets, and Triumvirate Boots? )

Actually I recall one FP (HM Foundry) where someone complained during Revan's speech that my Twi'lek needs to "cover up more".

Same with my Jedi Guardian in Dramatic Extrovert, and my Chiss Merc in Relaxed Jumpsuit + Regal Miniskirt ... no one has ever said anything to me except to complain I'm not wearing enough, or that my outfit is "ugly".

So, uh... hm.

I maintain my belief that modestly dressed female characters automatically make people think that the player behind the character has to be female (because if it'd be a guy the character would wear skimpy outfits, right?). Furthermore the people who whisper stuff like that are most likely teenagers or... pretty close to teenagers in terms of mindset.
Ergo character that is believed to have a female player behind it equals weird whispers.

Just a theory, of course.

Buy expensive clothing and wear it on Tython ^^

I grinded hours for Last Handmaiden set. Then I bought it to global, and putted it to my fresh Sage.
Before I arrived to Gnarls two guys had /w me where did I get it. I was sorry to disappoint then by telling it costs around 3 M on my server

Okay there was nothing offensive on that tough. I think most of dudes think that female toon in skimpy outfits is played by a guy. So these "I don't want to use matchmaking service, SWTOR will do same job" propably /w for toons they think could be played by girl.
... Which is bad strategy because most of female players I know, myself included play very varying characters, and you really cannot know which gender is player based on toon, and even if you ask them they may not be what they claim to be

While odd, I'm definitely not complaining.

In fact on reflection, SWTOR is probably the least sexual harassment I've ever gotten in an MMO. Maybe Star Wars fans have lower testosterone levels or something?

Although that doesn't explain the people who are always emoting lesbian sex in the Fleet cantina...
funny I hadnt realized it..but you are right. I cant think of anyone mentioning getting "wanna be my GF?" whispers in the last couple of years....in other games it happened all the time.

Happens a lot on my Mercenary. White eyes, long blond hair. Red lipstick. Her outfit is the longcoat which shows the "bra", nice pair of pants etc. Color of her outfit in Primary Pink.

My other characters have nice outfits too, but don't get that much attention. I guess it must be the pink.
