Female Idle Stance with Shields?

I hope I am not asking something that has been asked before, but I search and couldn't find anything on this.

My Female Shield Scrapper, and Tanker idle in a very... Masculine stance while their shields are out. Is this a bug, intended, or is there a new stance in the works that may be more feminine? If not, is this where I should be requesting such an addition?

Sorry is this has been asked before, I did try and search for it. =P

Actually I'm not sure that this has been asked before. As things are now, there is a very limited number of idle poses for characters of both sexes. I have not heard if there's any plans to change this.

Hmm, is it possible for me to request this somewhere it will be seen, or would this thread suffice?

Back in my SCA days, Dame Trudi Lacklandia didn't look all that different from the other fighters with weapon and shield before ringing my chimes.


My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

It has been commented on before, but not much. Personally, I despise the female running animation with a passion and I am VERY happy that shields cause them to run in a more respectable way. I'm not opposed to optionally picking different stances, but I do NOT want to lose the ability for my shielders and weapon users to not jiggle their butts when they run.

I don't have any issues with the Running animations, but just the standing Idle pose. I don't think the two animations are linked at all, this request is only for the stance a female character takes while her shield is out, and she is just facing forward, no threats, no actions.

I guess no one else finds this to be out of character, or strange to look at?

I haven't noticed, but maybe because my brute is Axe/Shield. Personally, I love the idle stance with both drawn on my character, helps with the whole foreboding look deal.

It just doesn't go with my Character much though. Would be interesting if there could be a choice of stances.

So with you on that one. Whoever designed the female run animation is...well...they don't get out much, put it that way.
Considering it hasn't changed since the release, Im not surprised, but hey...theres no real excuse for fail.
