I realised something this morning.
While each race has their own cultural tiered gear, default gear has all been designed for humans.

Why is there no default gear for the other races?

This is most obvious when looking at default armours on Charr, where geometry and textures have simply been stretched to fit the character model.

Can we get some default armours that have been designed with other races in mind?

Ideally, it would be nice if your characters of different races crafted armour with obvious racial influences, such as Charr armour being steam-punky, Sylvari armour being floral, Asuran armour having that techno-Aztec motif and Norn armour consisting heavily of furs.

I understand that the Cultural armours were an attempt to cater to the styles and fashions of different races, but when the default armour has so obviously been designed for humans, it ends up adversely influencing the game, both stylistically and philosophically.

Please note that due to restrictions placed on my account, I am only allowed 1 post per hour.
Therefore I may take some time replying to you.

I would love cultural starter armour.

What’s the worst that could happen? That people would use more transmutation stones to use the cultural armour in higher levels.

(My engi is still wearing her starter monocle at level 80.)

They seriously need to change crafting as well. Every single basic (blue quality) tier of armor should look differently in a big way.

Each race should also be capable of having each teir trainable to craft racially looking armor, this should be the first major update IMO. Just make it that if you are norn, you can only craft norn armor. Thus creating a market for the various sets (btw the crafted armor should be wearable by EVERYONE).
6 new sets per tier for sylvari, human, norn and 3 sets per tier for asura and charr (both sexes wear the same armor). 6 tiers exist. That’s 54 armor skins incase anyone wants the total math.
