A few cosmetic changes.
1. Agree, though I quite like some of the tailor armor. Still, some “spice” would be nice (By the way, there are more interesting recipes that you can aquire through various means, like karma and stuff in hidden places.)
2. I think it has been mentioned quite often, and since GW1 had it I’m pretty sure that they’re going to implement it sooner or later. At least that’s what I hope!
3. I would like to see some smaller/medium tattoos for humans too, though not as big and woaaah as the Norn, since that’s a part of their identity after all. But a fire pattern on the arm for the dedicated elementalist, a sinister beast on the back for the necromancers, something like that I would definitely support as well, since it’s a part of human culture as well. I think it could work nicely on Asuras too, since they have “bare” skin as well. (Sylvari already have their glow though, and Charr their fur pattern).
about 1)
I can only talk about tailor armor on a human female: but they are fine, there is a great variety over the levels. I noticed though that all crafted staffs look exactly the same until you reach the level 80 rare ones, and i think that should be changed
