With every new event new back covers come into the game.
They are very well designed and looks great, but engineers cannot get any taste of that because the kits hide them!

The backpack from Medkit, flamethrower, grenade, etc are just too big and those nice back cover cannot be seen. This is very frustrating!

Leave an option to hide/show the kits backpack or leave other options like a fanny pack that does not cover all the back of the character.

I’m all for changing them around, but removing them actually hinders the game. While running around in WvW, there are tells to figure out what profession you’re going against.

First, you can check their weapons.

Second, you can check their armor.

Third, you can check their buffs (and signets/mantras/whatever).

Fourth, you can check a few tells. If you get past the first three and still can’t tell what they are, you can ask yourself:
Do they have elements flying around their wrist? (Elementalist)
Do they have a backpack? (Engineer)
Do they have Aegis? (Guardian)

Actually, the fourth is usually one of the first things you’ll check for, then you check through the rest of the list. Occasionally you’ll go against someone who may look like one profession but is another (Shortbow can be Thief or Ranger. Hard to tell if they use no signets and have their pet stowed.) (Necro and Mesmer use Staff and if they have no signets it’s hard to tell them apart.)

With that in mind, the hobo-sack IS really big and can be toned down.
