Slightly off topic, but I cant say if the over-all population in MMOs are teenagers, but if you talk about endgame raid stuff it tends to be old folks.

Well, I'd say it depends mostly on the game and the company you keep. Mostly on the company you keep. Also the times when you play.While at 3Pm you are more likely to run into younger people, 10PM+ the opposite.
But I think last time I saw somewhat decent looking statistics, about +-43% were 19 and less, which I actually find to be believable.15-18 making the largest mass of that, which, coincidentaly, is the group that is most likely to be horny :D Not that I blame them for something. Just saying.

Actually, I have said that half of MMO player are horny teenagers, and a lot of other people still like to see what they consider appealing, so it's natural for the companies to oblige with revealing outfits. Slight difference there.
Either way, haven't played Rift for long, but yeah, complex armor customisation is indeed quite rare, on the other hand, so is character one. As long as people pay and are somewhat quiet everything's good I guess.
But sure, granted, there could be more of the realistic games, on the other hand, I still think it's kind of out of line to complain about skimpy outfits in game which is basically all about skimpyness.

If you do a search on google you can see age demo graphics for alot of different mmos. Even games like wow the avg age of players is like 28-30 not teenagers. Just because male players like females to be wearing attractive / revealing armor doesnt make them a bunch of horny kids. Horny adults maybe but not teenagers.

Yes, 28 was average age 8 years ago, but it actually went down abit (average). Check the post above yours. Either way, I have not said it makes you a horny teenager/kid, I have said that the fact large portion of people want it is important for marketing. Misinterpreting what I said (again) is not apperciated.

I don't really care, so I'm not going to bother fact checking. This was posted on dec 2010(Its probably from a old study, but I can't find anything newer.) and it says avg age in WoW is 30. So I don't know where you get your numbers but at least Sakubos is a repeatable search.
The only reason I bothered looking is because I wanted a source. Also according to this 40% of mmo players are female.
I don't really believe this stuff is really that accurate(it's based off internet surveys and its old), but one thing I don't like is statistics that have no source and are therefor made up. I can't be the only one that thinks bad of people that post "made up" numbers to "win" an internet argument.

I am.
I don't believe you do play fat OR curly characters tho. Screenshots or it didn't happen. And in case it would be in D&D... no... That... That would be just wrong and twisted.

I think it's been done...
