Guild Wars 2

I have a few questions about them. It seems that just about everyone has an NPC armor set they love (ex: Countess Anise and Norn Raven)… therefore it makes the most sense to just release those armor sets out to the players. They’d get a lot more money than armor sets like the silly flame ones (I literally LOL’d when I saw them).

1. Why haven’t we seen them?

2. Are there any technical reasons why they haven’t been available?

3. Are there any other reasons why they haven’t been made available?

I’d consider buying some NPC sets, for sure. But otherwise? I haven’t found any that I really liked. Also, I’d consider buying armor sets (NPC ones!) if we had a skin management system for gem store sets.

What confuses me, is that it is known what sets people like so there would be instant popularity of those sets once released and potentially a good amount of money could come from them (whether or not they were gem store sets as I might consider buying gems to sell for gold to get the sets if they were cultural armor or what not). People have been wanting some NPC armor sets ever since beta. I know I have.

Edit: They’re also sets that already have been modeled at least to an extent. So it seems to me they’d be easier to make available to players.
