Guild Wars 2

Aside from costume brawling, town clothes tend to go virtually unused. Why? Because they serve no function and often look less impressive than your character’s armor. In short, if you want to make more money in the gem store, shift the resources that go into making town clothes towards making armor skins instead.

Even if you have to re-release visually upgraded forms of Guild Wars 1 skins, it’s still a better outcome than what we’ve got now. Hell, there are a good number of Guild Wars 1 armor skins that would make best sellers.

Indeed… if you take the most popular GW1 armor sets and enhance them for GW2 as Gem Store Skins… they will sell fast.

Can never have enough throw-back skins. Shut up and take my money!

I’m all for more armor skins and less town clothes. And make them available on the gem store, not in BL chests.

New armor skins should be available in the game, not exclusively from the gem store.

Agreed! Does anyone even wear town clothes? In my case, no. I’ve only worn them once, for about 2 minutes, right after I started my 1st char to see what they looked like and my reaction was (and still is) “meh!”

Now armor skins… Heck yeah!

Obviously, but there are certain advantages to expanding on the number and variety of armor skins available through the gem store, and it would be a good way to separate the new skins (those available through drops, crafting, dungeons, karma, etc.) and legacy skins (those gem store skins based on Guild Wars 1 armor sets).
