It's time... God's Skins!
Agreed, one skin does not cover the feeling of accomplishment a player should get from wearing a glorious armour-set received as a reward for their good deeds by the Priest/Priestess of a God, when there are six differently themed Gods with different values in terms of what they perceive as rewardable behaviour. The armour should, in my opinion, reflect the way a specific God leaves his/her/their (yes, I even thought about Lyssa) mark on the world. I mean, let’s be honest: armour that in PvP is called: “Armageddon armor” and has a skull-helmet in its heavy variant doesn’t exactly fit my picture of Dwayna-approved armour.
So yes, I completely agree with Marcus in this. Anet has the creative talent, passion and ability to make even this part of the game feel more alive.
One last added thing: I do really, REALLY love the concept of how to obtain these armours. From the Event-chains to the requiring of Karma to buy it. Awesome concept given life in an awesome manner!
Well…
The stats on each “set” is all over the place. For example, I gathered Power/Toughness/Vitality and I think I needed armors from at least three different places. Lucky for me, the skins are all shared.
Of course, they could just offer a specific set with a specific skin at a specific temple. But what if that temple is rarely uncontested? Or what if I like another skin? Worst case scenario, you would have to wait a long time to even buy the armor set, but then you would need to buy a second armor set for teh skin that you like. At 42,000 Karma a piece, that’s 504,000 Karma total.
And they would have to make something similar for the other races, considering only humans have the gods.

That’s why Transmutation Stones exist… Like any other skin you could want.
