Guild Wars 2

First, I’ll just point out the obvious example: DCUO.

With GW2 — a game so focused on character appearance — why are your skins and stats all connected? Why do you need to do the same content into tedium just to fit a skin? Why skins and stats aren’t independent in this game is beyond me. Even PvP has a display case to hang you collections, so why’s PvE getting the shaft?

If the answer is ‘to sell transmutation stones’, then that is a poor response. They can still be relevant in some other way, say transporting a style over to another character.

I just can’t understand why the item with the stats you want and the item you choose to use as your style would not be independent.

I dunno, but on another note my character looks fabulous in whatever she wears. You should see her strutting through the city – that girl is something else.
