Armor skins are very limited in GW2, especially for exotic level 80 armor. Of all the skins in the game, for each armor class, I think only about 5 sets look decent. Judging by the armor every other player is wearing, I think that they agree. Every level 80 character looks the same now, with about a quarter of everyone I see wearing Citadel of Flame sets.

Medium armor needs the most work (less trenchcoats, please), followed by heavy, and then light. New skins are being added in to the game, but nowhere near often enough, and I feel that one of the core aspects of MMOs, the gear grind, is really lacking in GW2. Now, I know that GW2 isn’t a ‘traditional’ MMO, but I think there are only a select few people who think that there are enough armor skins as of right now.

Ascended armor would be a great addition to the game, IMO. If the development team focused on hard to obtain, great-looking gear (No more fire/dark-themed armor or asymmetrical shoulders, though), this would keep a lot of players occupied for quite some time, myself included. Preferably, this would not be available on the gem store or acquired through achievement points, but something like Laurels or Dungeon Currency (perhaps each piece could cost 60 of each dungeon currency, i.e. one runthrough of each dungeon).

Let me know what you guys think.
