Guild Wars 2

I am aware that the game as a whole needs more armour sets and designs, but specifically with the event rewards I am getting a little bit bored with the usual selection of either shoulders, gloves, head and back pieces.

Don’t get me wrong, the majority of the time they look pretty awesome and I have found a use for them with one alt or another.

However, I think it is about time they started introducing chest, leg and boot rewards to mix and match with the event skins we may already be using rather than force us to choose to replace with yet another helmet etc that has the same skin for all armour types.

I realise that there is more work involved with creating these items for all three armour types, which would need to be done so that people can spot at a glance what armour/profession an enemy is in pvp/wvw, but a constant stream of items that only fit in the same armour slot is beginning to feel a bit lazy on the design team’s front.

get to 15k ap and they’ll start talking about boots,chests, and leggings.

Is that something they have said?

According to the wiki, at 12k, 15k and 18k you are just given the option to choose from the Radiant/Hellfire gloves/shoulders/helmet again which is exactly the kind of laziness I am talking about

I would love to be able to complete a full Hellfire set with a glove/leg/chest option, and the title aside, there is not currently any visual reward for reaching these high levels of achievement points that a player couldn’t have already earnt between 1-9k AP.
