I’ll try to keep this as simple as I possibly can, and I couldn’t find a topic relating to this suggestion. If there is? I’m sorry, I just could not find it.
Start off with Ascended items. There sure is plentiful to behold, indeed. Sometimes so much that were ending up with 20+ rings and such we have no use for. Being able to trade in a certain amount for something you need would probably be something welcomed to those who have their bank space full of rings and such.
Aside from that would be Ascended Armour, and I don’t mean 10+ that look exactly the same, but with different stats for each armour type. Face it, this is an MMO – People do like to look somewhat different from the majority, and seeing as how this game is quite balanced? Looks seem to be more important then uber-insane stats.
An example of what I mean: Heavy Armour = 3 – 5 unique sets that look different from each other, but could share the same stats, or how current Ascended items are when it comes to stats. This then follows with Medium Armour having 3 – 5 and Light having 3 – 5 (Or any number you wish to do. Variety is key, and that’ll be coming up later in this post)
Legendary Armour will, of course be in the same context as Legendary Weapons. As long as the 1 set per each armour type and category looks “Legendary” I’m sure most will be pleased to work towards what they want.
Now comes to Weapon/Armour skins. Be it in game updates, Gem Store, or simply adding more armour sets to purchase with Karma/Tokens. GW2 desperately needs more skins, and especially more creative work when it comes to Daggers, Pistols, Hammers, and of course… Medium Armour.
Out of all these I’m sure most would agree that Medium Armour hurts when she comes to looks and variety. It’s mostly riddled with Trench coat designs, as if were all part of the Mafia. This armour type could really use some more extra love when it comes to looks.
Being an MMO it sure can get tiring seeing all those Thieves/Rangers wearing the same type of armour as you, more so when it comes to Tier 3 Cultural Armour, especially Human. It also goes the same to Light armour and heavy, and all professions!. I hope I’m not just speaking for myself when I say that most of us want our characters to look somewhat unique, or slightly different from those of the same class/profession.
Be it this post drowns in the constant spams of suggestion threads, and hopefully this will get some attention to avoid that. Would also love some word from Anet regarding anything mentioned in this topic.
And as always – Keep up the great work and support.
