Guild Wars 2

I’d like to propose that ANet consider running a contest among the fans to design a set of town clothing. How I envision it would be like this:

Design a full set of town clothing for one specific race. There will be separate categories for each race. The clothing must be appropriate for that race… i.e. it must feel like it fits in with the lore of that race. Designs can be formal or casual, and keep in mind it’s town clothing as opposed to armor. Submitted designs must show enough details and angles to be usable to copy into the game, all designs become the property of ANet yada yada.

The idea is that the winner of each category, determined by means to be determined, would have their design added to the game. How it’s added can be determined… sold in the cash shop, free in the cash shop, added as clothing we can craft, etc.

I just think this would be a nice way to pull the community into the game a little more, adding a personal touch, a little more “mine” feeling to GW2.

This, of course, could lead to weapon design contests, mobs, etc.

We’ve mentioned this several times on various boards. I think the response was something along the lines of “we’ve actually considered doing this, but haven’t gotten around to it.”

It’s a fun idea. But I’m sure that because my design would rely on nothing more than a piece of string and a square of jute bolt, Anet wouldn’t hold this contest.

Aw why not silk? too expensive, or too comfy? ;P

I like the “caveman” look.

I really like the Hero’s Forge player created items in EQ, I think most MMOs should adopt a similar system where they allow players to create skins and be purchased by other players.

This was made for weapons back in GW1 (link: http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/designaweapon07/) but…..you probably know how it ends.

It ends with the fact that ANet is a different company than what it was back in the good days. I don’t see it happening…shame.

Hmm I thought you were going to say “like the bone dragon staff or the ice crown ”.
