Boring...
Obviously a RP perspective to the game, then try the RP logic.
Y U not understand.
My main is a Sith Inquisitor, advance class: Sorcerer, Spec: lightning.
No heavy armor for spell casters...
Also why would a Trooper want to look unnatural out of character by wearing a robe? xD
Save your sexual fantasies, man up, dress accordingly to your class!
And yes, RP is a boring conservative world.
