Guild Wars 2

Heavy armor cannot be skinned as light. Since the re-skin items are purely cosmetic, and much appreciated, I have a hard time understanding this limitation. Each race can be each class, and each armor class except the heavy can use any weapon (not any class, but between the 3 mages all weapon types can be equipped same for medium, heavy comes close but no pistols and no dagger) so I can’t see any technical reason to limit transmutation stones.

For myself, I hate all the female medium armor and I don’t care for most of the heavy, but putting that aside, allowing each armor class to be re-skinned as other armor classes would greatly increase the diversity of the outfits players can make, and thus enhance the gameplay experience and add a little more depth.

Probably because of WvW; so you can’t disguise your Elementalist as a tanky Guardian by wearing all-Heavy armour.
