Outfits to skins
Since the addition of the Braham’s Wolfblood Pauldrons I’ve been wondering if we were going to see more segments of outfits sold as individual skins? I think most players would agree that parts of outfits are something they’d like to use without having to wear the entire outfit. It’d be really nice to get a definitive “yes” or “no” on the subject.
It’s a really good idea that could make anet some extra money for minimal effort while making a good chunk of the playerbase happy.
You won’t get a definitive response from ANet; it’s going to be a case-by-case situation. The entire reason outfits exist is that they are quicker to release: they don’t mix & match, so they do not have to play nicely with other (skins). In contrast, every armor skin has to fit with every other armor skin; it isn’t “minimal” effort to take a bit from an outfit and sell it separately.
So instead, I’d recommend that you identify the sections of outfits you’d like to see sold separately. That will give ANet an idea about our preferences and (I hope) influence their priorities in the future.

I have nothing to add to this conversation, only that I got a laugh at your name. “DIRTY BLUES!!”

there are several excuses being thrown around for why Anet refuse to break outfits up into armours and sell them to us making a TON of cash.
(i’d gladly throw lots of money at my screen if outfits became armour skins.)
some people use “clipping” as the excuse, which is hilarious because the majority of the ingame armour will clip if you mix it badly.
(grenth hood for example is notorious)
some people use “ugly cut-off points” as the excuse, which is hilarious because plenty of ingame armour simply ends when it gets to the cut off point, but used wisely you can mix them well with other armours.
(grasping dead set for example)
personally i see no reason why outfits should not be broken into parts and sold as armours, make them twice the price of the outfit if you want Anet, we’ll still pay it!
the pool or armours in this game is shockingly lacking,
and you’re missing out on a goldmine.
tl:dr all of the excuses that people give for why outfits cannot be turned into armour skins: “clipping” “cut off points” etc already apply to ingame armour and can be worked around.
