GW2 is, by design, heavily driven by cosmetic items. Yet, it seems like Anet has decided that the production of cosmetic equipment should be under a low budget. We rarely get equipment skins, and when we do, they’re either incomplete, or only available from the cash shop – and almost always pallete swaps.
It’s just an example of how inconsistent Anet is with its own game.
You would think that a heavily cosmetic-driven game would have more unique medium armor by now, or scholar’s male armor that wouldn’t make us spellcasters choose between picking generic cleric cloth or exaggerately ornamented, hyper-realistic, non-sense grabs. :P
I for one welcome proper armor looking armor for classes that aren’t heavy.
As far as I’m concerned, and perfectly aware that this is incredibly subjective, while this game does have beautiful armors, it also has precious few of them, with the majority focusing too much in being exotic and flamboyant and not enough in being simple and pretty. I want more things you’d expect actual warriors (if fantastic and magical warriors…) to wear. The kind of designs you’d see in, for example, Dark Souls or Vindictus.
Sometimes simplicity and elegance is the best. Even when they are highly stylized.
I would like to see more lordly clothes for light armors, and especially a vampire-themed set. But certainly something more elegant, simple and/ or majestic. Not overburdened with unnecessary accessories and straps.

well said and i agree completely. In 10 months not a single full armor was added and that ugly creature on gem shop shouldn’t be considered as an armor
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.

Aetherblade armor would like a word with you.
Aetherblade armor can remain in silence with me.
The OP is absolutely right and im a bit tired of this. Add zephyrite helm.
Some of the radiant stuff should hopefully match my ele’s bifrost pretty well(rainbow glow). But I do agree, every other set just seems better looking on a big norn warrior.
I don’t know about medium, but I think a great alternative for the radiant gloves in light would be instead of putting that glowy stuff on top of heavy plate, why not just create skin tight ball room type gloves made of a glowy/sparkly fabric. That could have been so pretty, but the current look just doesn’t look right with any of my light armor.
I don’t get why the achievement points required for the armor set is extreme. How many players have enough time to do all the temporary content they put out for achievement points and do both PVE and PVP dailies and monthlies just to get the skin?

I’ve got my thief setup to wear the zenith pauldrons and gloves and they aren’t big at all. Coupled with the wind aspect backpiece it looks amazing.
I think you mean radiant pauldrons , i dont recall them adding zenith armors. Anywayz I cant imagine that bright look on a glowing thief ? Lol
These armor sets only fit like the guardians and ele’s and in one shade of colour at best. Have fun mix matching

It’s for my PvP thief too! I don’t have to spam blinds, my armor does it for me.
