After utilizing the costumes and many vanity items from Guild Wars 1 to great effect, I would have thought the same overlay of vanity items over armor would be incorporated into Guild Wars 2.
Town clothing restrict’s beautiful armor from being able to be combined with other armor pieces or indeed worn at all for the most part of people’s game time ( pvp excluded)
Wouldn’t it be more viable to at least allow Transmogrification stones to combine town clothing pieces with armor?
People pay real money for these sets, shouldn’t they be allowed a bit more freedom with them?
My Necro would SOOO wear the Witch costume in combat
