Q:
Stylizing Your Character
A:
it would be nice for you to offer these in all the races
Surely you mean ‘classes’? – or something akin to magitech but for heavy armor wearers?
If everyone got to wear the same armor designs, we’d all look like cookie-cutters of each other and any variety would take a back seat.
That is all good in theory, but the more options you have to stylize your character the better, you can mix and match pieces just like in the real world, then have every size and shape of clothing and you don’t see the same thing on everyone. Let us go back GW1 were there was not a wide rang of clothes and yes, everyone did look the same, but can mix and match stuff in GW2.
It’s not theory at all…and this isn’t the real world.
What makes your ‘look’ special isn’t the amount of armor choices available but how you customize that armor within the boundaries of the game.
There are enough armor pieces, of your own class, to mix and match, change color etc. without the need to borrow from another class.
Let us go back GW1 were there was not a wide rang of clothes and yes, everyone did look the same, but can mix and match stuff in GW2.
IIRC, in GW1 you always, always wore a style according to your class. Monks looked like monks, rangers like rangers, etc.
In GW2 we alreay share armour pieces between classes so it is a lot more diverse. (With the restriction of the armour type, which makes sure that there is at least some sense behind armour choices – no cloth-wearing warriors, and no full-plate spellcasters.)
In addition, face options, hairstyles and hair colours, emotes and poses are shared between characters oh ALL classes, so there, too, you’re not limited to your classes’ intended style anymore.
I think GW2 is a lot more flexible than GW1.

oh and for the record, it’s not classes, it’s “professions”.
