Hey, i love to customize my character in GW2
I want GW2 to give us an easier way to customize our gear and weapons, go to the bottom of the post to see a quick overview of the features.
There is just one thing that really bothers me. There is so many cool armor in GW2, but if I buy them i will be stuck with a lot of gear that have bad stats and take up way too much space. So i find myself not buying them. Buying transmutation stones every time i want to change the way i look makes me not want to customize my character. Then i find myself walking around with the same gear for months and it gets boring.
What I would love to see in GW2 is a Armor-Skin Wardrobe I once played a game called “DC Universe”, and this game had this awesome Wardrobe which you could gain access to with a single hotkey. In this wardrobe every single armor-skin you have weared would be stored. I loved it. It was easy to change the way I looked. Same for stats too, they would be stored and easy to change.
“What about the transmutation stones?”. I know that GW2 earn quite some cash off the transmutation stones, however there could be ways to profit from a Skin-Wardrobe too Lets say that every Character can store 3 full armor skins in the wardrobe (this would be 3 headpieces, 3 legs and so on, not needed to be a full set). When this one is full the Gem Store could sell additional Wardrobe-space for a reasonable price of gems. I would love this feature. I could be stuck with it for hours and just cutomize armor all day. It would also make me want to buy the armorskins that the Gem Store offers, because then i would not have to buy another piece of exotic armor in order to actually use the skin in combat without sacrificing another armorskin.
This got a bit long, but I hope you understand the concept. I will try to sum it up.
Armor skin Wardrobe features:
- Easy access by hotkey (implemented in the “Hero” tab?)
- 3 Slots of storage for Armorskins (3 for headpieces, 3 for legs and so on)
- 3 Slots of storage for Stats (3 for different runes)
- 3 Sots of storage for Weaponskins (3 Weaponskins for every weapon prehaps? )
- 3 Slots of storage for Weaponstats (3 for different sigils?, 3 for different stats (healing, power and so on))
- Gem Store selling Slot- expanding for the Wardrobe, as they do for bank and character slots
DC Universe use this kind of system, but witout limits of storage.

Reasons to implement this systems:
- Easy to customize character, easy for new players to understand
- Selling expandable wardrobe slots
- People will buy more of the Gem Store armorskins, because one can still keep the old armorskin and it will no fill up the bank.
Why not to implement this system:
- Transmutation stones is an income for GW2, i guess, im not sure how many buys them though
Tell me what you think guys, tell me what could be improved
