As per the lastest Late Night Talk Highlights, PA have said this:

This is an outfit which has been out for years now and also has another more skimpy version already for those that prefer that type of dress.

So then WHY remove the original, objectivly BETTER LOOKING version of this outfit from EVERYONE WHO ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON IT!

Surely, having the option for the barely-there clothing version is sufficient enough? Why do you have to remove the longer coat-tail version for the rest of us with a smidge more class? Who in the world is offended by the coat-tails? I'm furious because this is one of the better mermaid-like outfits for those of us who play Corsair. We already got shafted with the short-cape class - now you want to take outfits I spent money on away as well?

Utterly ridiculous.

I'm usually a hardcore fangirl of BDO - but this is a big NOPE for me. 

Do not try and fix that which is not broken!

Image for those who have no idea what the outfit is:

It is a highly requested suggestion from the Korean players.

They should copy and paste a third varient then, without the offensive coat-tails. Not change something people have already purchased. 

If they are going to do this regardless then they had better be offering refunds. 

And I am worried that they swiftly remove the option to see the dress below as it is the case with the legacy shell belle outfit (as in screenshot below)!

Cause I know that normally you never get things all good from PA, instead they always need to put something bad to what they release or change.  :<

As if that was their sorta philosophy. Hate it.

Either way I totally agree with the OP that outfits once bought should not be changed after PPL payed cash for them!

Solution: Allow the tail to be toggled via the SHOW CAPE option.

Also I agree with OP that their char certainly would look better with the tail as it´s a nice costume theme they went for.

The worst thing is that the other version of this outfit - the skimpy version is exactly what you have suggested. When you toggle the cape, the whole coat comes off. So this is why I am so perplexed! 

The only thing I can think of is that they still want the coat, but for it to end at the waistline - but just make a third varient for that then!

This is the skimpy version of the outfit with no coat-tails that is already available:

Makes 2 version. one with one without cape. noone fucking knew why PA made shucked, but whatever. was probably 5 minutes of work to make it so anyway. 
So now they wanna fuck over both versions instead of just turning the shucked version into version 1 with the cape toggle removing everything except the Bikini. 

i swear if they remove one of the only good outfits they released in the last years....

I don't really care for the coat tails, it's bugged anyways. There's a transparency issue where the coat and skirt conflict with eachother. It's very apparent if you dye both separate colors.

However, I wouldn't be happy if they just changed something we already paid for. Even if I like the new change, people buy things for a reason. This actually really worries me and makes me question if I should be spending any more money on this game. 

From what I've seen, these past two years, if they get an idea in their head, even if it's the worst one on earth, they'll go with it and they'll expect us to just go along with it

It's a terrible philosophy.

They've attacked the music, art, sounds, systems, player interactions, and now they're wanting to nuke outfits.

Nothing is sacred to the folks at PA.

I wish I wasn't so fond of this game, especially what it used to be.  I could quit so much easier and get away from these developers....

Who's to say that they won't just create a 3rd variant and allow people to exchange their current outfit piece(s) for the new one?

I don't see anything written here about another version. Only removing from the outfit.
