i beg to differ:
-> for some people, WW2 german uniforms, guns, etc. looks/works great. also, not every WW2 officer was a nazi.
if you want everything to have a "place" or be "necessary", i recommend you to wait for BFV, or play arma 3, COD:WAW, SWAT 4 or any number of things. when you get in a ONLINE game with OTHER HUMANS and there is a CREATIVE SIDE to the game, you have to deal with other people creating what they want, be it a anime uniform,banana-shaped house, or calling themselves butt mcbutterson.
what is the point?
->praetorians are mostly ex-military and ex-police
->in a warzone like san paro, dressing military is just common sense
->what if i want to roleplay as a crazy guy that belives he is a german in WW2 conquering san paro for germany? what if i just like the german uniforms? do you go arround whispering to naked people and clowns in game "hey, your costumizacion doesnt fit my imagination and has no place or point in this game, go change it"?
(this is not for you, but for everyone) im christian. i get offended when people says om_ or _ _ _ (as: you shall not use his name in vain); also, satanic stuff also offends me. where is the chat filter for people saying those things? where are the bans for the satanistics and people with stuff liike "om_ or _ _ _" in their char names? are we taking favourites in the "offended roulette" now?
this is the first time im saying this, because i do feel like they are in the liberty to say and use those things. im no judge, jury, or executioneer.
so, as you said, "offense" is complicated. if we tried to make a full non-offensive game, we would not be able to even play tetris, as its a game of putting a stick in a hole.
toxic people will be toxic with or without the uniform. banning an uniform only hurts the legit, mature players who enjoy the looks of it. its not like the uniform gets in their head and they start shouting "hail hitler! kill all blacks!", they will do it, with or without the uniform.
oh sorry, i didnt knew you know every single apb player. what do you know about me tho? im curious.
expanding the symbol all arround the armband looks good
ditto.
