Protection Boob-adin
A couple nights ago one of my dual boxed teams, DoubleD, reached level 40. This is an exciting level because for Paladins it means the ability to wear plate armor and for my Priest too as it means Shadowform. I was more excited about the plate armor because it meant Nyquist could tank better and thus increased survivability for the team as a whole.
Once the team dinged 40 I headed over to the Auction House (AH) in search of a full set of plate to replace my existing and aging mail armor. Since the leveling speed in the Recruit-A-Friend program is set to ludicrous, I didn't want to spend a lot of gold on new armor because I knew I'd be replacing them rather quickly.
So I cobbled together a full set of inexpensive but decent plate armor, equipped them, and headed back into the world of Azeroth. Though the set of plate was bargain priced "greens" it was still a very nice boost to Nyquist's armor. So the team spent the next couple of hours questing away in Stranglethorn Vale negotiatiating through hostile lands filled with raptors, and tigers, and trolls, . . . oh my!
The predominant view of WoW is typically from behind your character. Unless you intentionally swing the camera around you rarely see your character face on, except of course while logging in. So when I logged into Nyquist the very next day, I was astounded to see that my little tank, the dwarf male, Protection Paladin had . . .
Talk about a "WTF" moment followed by hysterical laughter. Apparently, the plate armor chestpiece I had bought the night before, Warbringer's Chestguard of Strength, wasn't so flattering for a male dwarf! I usually don't Ctrl-Left-Click an item to see how it looks on my character, but you had better bet I'll be doing it from now on.
"Hi, Nyquist here, Protection Boob-adin, I'll tank for you, . . . ummm, my face is up here".
I know what you mean about unflattering armor. Somehow my male gnome warrior ended up with what looks like a plate crop-top. I'm sure it looks great on night elf females, but on a short hairy guy it loses a lot of appeal. :)
My current twins were sporting the same shirt at about level 10 (some grey something or other). I call them twins because of the RAF pairing, not because they are actually related, by the way. Stroganhoof, my tauren, looked well covered in his, where Synna, my blood elf hunter, was falling out at the top and the bottom was too short. You'd think it would be the other way around...
