Guild Wars 2

Here are some armor skins that I really loved from Guild Wars 1. I find it strange that, with all the skins they keep adding to the game, they can’t see their way to bring back the old ones.
There are so many skins that could be added that those who played GW1 would gladly make or probably buy from the gem store. Hopefully the new ExPac will have some of these skins.

I bet my 400 gems every gw1 armor that will make its way into gw2 will be a costume, just like the monk armor and the warrior primeval armor. Is it so difficult to implement them as a plain exotic armor set?

Didn’t ANet say they would only release outfits via the gemshop and armor skins via expansions? So when the expansions take us to Cantha we might see some armor skins from Factions, when it takes us to Elona we might see some armor skins from Nightfall…

Primeval armor was an armor set.

Yup. Also, we have/had the Krytan and Profane sets (both old GW1 sets), which were also armor sets.

That being said, those were early additions to the game, and we haven’t had full GW1 armor skin sets since then. Plus, they’ve all been gem store items. I’d love to have more GW1 armor throwbacks that are earned by playing rather than by using gems.

That was my point exactly. I’d love to be able to earn new armor sets. There were so many awesome sets in GW1.
