Guild Wars 2

When a game has no subscription fee, having a good variety of available microtransactions is a smart idea, and in general, most things you can buy in the BLTC are pretty nice. Boosts are always useful, as are Black Lion salvage kits, tonics are occasionally fun although ultimately pointless, and a lot of the town clothes are nice.

However, when it comes to style options that aren’t town clothing, things are extremely limited. Three options, and a single character can only ever access one of them. They’re all classic Guild Wars armor sets, which is a nice idea, but while the Primeval armor generally considered attractive, the Krytan armor is fairly generic and I’ve never met a single person who liked the Profane armor.

Guild Wars was full of very attractive armor sets, but these are the only ones we can use the appearance of? While we’re on the subject, what about costumes? I’d buy a Shining Blade Uniform in a second if they’d just sell it to me. Is there a reason you don’t want my money, ArenaNet?

It’d be nice if we had more variety for armor skins in the cash shop, and I think a smart move would be to recycle more armor sets from the original game, especially the old costumes. I know I’d buy them.

And, as a side note, I know the idea is that, when you buy these Black Lion armor sets, you’re supposed to use transmutation stones to keep the armor appearance. But could we please, please, PLEASE get a costume vendor who can supply us with the item again? You know, like we’ve got for Heritage items? Please?

Sound idea. Personally, I like the heavy armor look on some pieces but my character (Ranger) cannot wear heavy armor. Don’t like a lot of the armor looks offered since medium armor was apparently an afterthought when the design teams were working on them.

I would love to see multiple offerings for each type of armor instead of only one each.
