Main suggestion to this thread is to do with Vigil Heavy armor pauldrons on female characters, and to request a version with the proper form of both pauldrons to be available for purchase at that order’s armor vendor. I think the Vigil heavy set is great, but the imbalance caused by the almost total lack of anything on the 1 shoulder throws me off, and makes me acutely aware of all the women I’ve seen wearing a purse on a quazy-moto shoulder (thanks to horrible posture issues caused by constantly and/or repeatedly carrying a bulky object on that shoulder).

Along the same lines, a few other armor sets might benefit from the same thing, including Norn Tier 2 heavy, and more medium and light armor sets than I care to spend the time naming lol. I’m not asking for 100% symmetrical shoulders on everything, some sets, like the named heavy exotic armor sets, are actually quite well done overall (the helmet is a different story, but i can live with it). I’m just looking to have the option for a much more balanced look in the ‘bulk’ the shoulders (main culprit for offending my sense of fashion) add to the body. And in many cases, this amounts to the male and female armor models really should have the option to use the same skins as the other.

Other suggestion goes to said “named” level 80 exotic armors; and that is only that I would like to see the actual armor skins worn by the characters to whom many of those sets owe their names, and those just to be true would need to be as exacting as possible to the characters who wore them just because it would be neat to see (And make the hefty auction house prices a little easier to stomach in a few cases).

Again to the shoulders: Need the ‘bulk’ of the piece to be more even, doesn’t always have to be 100% exact unless the skin is already done properly on the other gender, and options to buy either would be ideal to suit those people who have the unfathomable need to use shields so often for any clipping issues to be such a deal breaker ;P

I noticed I forgot the part about the prices… tier 3 culture armor. enough said :P

While I understand the stuff is supposed to be all about looks, I think an upgrade to Exotic quality for the price of something near 130 gold would be in order… 130g is enough to buy a full set of any exotic armor off the trade post (I would like to know if there is any armor that costs more for all the pieces), and a complement of almost any weapons other than precursor or forged gear to go with that armor… Mr Anet, have pity on the working class! :P

I’ve seen some nice cultural medium armor that I wish my guardian could wear. It is really a shame you can’t transmute a medium armor look onto a heavy armor piece.

My suggestion is for some of the same looks for different types of armor be available for light/med/heavy as well. I dislike a lot of the heavy armor I see for guardians….my female norn looks ridiculous in some of the stuff the game has available for her to wear.
