Guild Wars 2

I love some of the new outfits on offer (and the ones that’ll be on offer in the future). However, I love the mix and match advantage of armor skins much more.

ANet has access to all the data, and I’m assuming that by their decision to faze out armor skins in favor of outfits, with at least 5 (or more?) outfit sets down the line they reckon that the amount of transactions they lose from disengaging mix’n’match people is justified by drastically reducing the workload needed for creation of said outfits, compared to armor sets.

While, if I’m correct in my assumptions, this decision saddens me, I can understand it. Logic dictates that allowing people more choice is always better. Then again, for most people convenience is more important then choice, and what could be more convenient then having a fabulous looking set one click away.

And here comes my question: For those of us who are stubborn and uncompromising in their dedication to mixing and matching, will there ever be any hope for gaining access to gemstore outfits?
