First, I am a female irl. Don’t want you thinking that I need sexy armor because I’m some perv teenage boy.
Leather armor is just unpleasant, there is nothing that stands out. It’s always a long jacket, has horribly ragged or “dirty” looking cut and feel. From the heavy and light armor for female characters that I have seen, your artists do not lack imagination. But a handkerchief over the mouth and a duster constitutes style to strive for? I mean, unless I feel the urge to all out pirate myself.. NOT. The history of leather armor is long and extensive, I know you could certainly come up with far better options. I spent the last two days running mid-level zones looking for heart karma armor skins and they were all dusters with a belted t-shirt. The heavy and light armors I found were pretty kitten cool. So if you feel like giving us some good looking medium armor, I wouldn’t complain! And if you feel particularly artistic, maybe SOME skins could be class based. Steampunk for engineers and ninja-ish for thieves and a loin cloth for rangers. grin
I belong to The Old Timers Guild. We are 25+ all PC/MMO game guild. In total we have over 10,000 members playing many, many games. Just in GW2 we have 1000. We recently had to stop allowing new people to join OTG because, as a fully volunteer driven organization (and not power hungry elitists) with adult members, we can’t get enough officers and leaders to form a third guild since guild max is 500 atm. However, I’ve been watching our extensive list of players and there are many that no longer play, I’m certain of it. If the guild screen showed a join date and a last played date, we could clean out non-players and add other OTG members that want to play GW2 and actually be in a OTG run guild. With such a large and active community of players, we come and go, game to game. But we are always OTG members. And we want to be with the people we know. If we had last played date or number of days since last played, we could contact them via our outside community and see if they are going to coninue to play. If they are not, then that spot could go to someone that recently purchased the game. Help us meet the needs of our gaming community.
Thank you for reading!
