Guild Wars 2

The idea’s pretty simple – having the ability to lock your current wardrobe style as an outfit…so you can equip other armours and still keep the ‘look’ that you like.
This would benefit lower level players immensely, as they’re constantly changing their armour as they level, and continually using charges could work out pretty expensive.
The new locked style could be unlocked – for costume tweaking – meaning you’d still need to acquire transmutation charges if you wanted to change things around.
I’ve seen this working in another game (DCUO) and reckon it would compliment GW2’s wardrobe system just as well.
Thoughts?

The wardrobe system wasn’t meant to get rid of transmutation. If they simply allowed you to lock in a certain skin there would be no reason for anyone to buy transmutation stones. Simply from world completion I have about 70 which is more then enough to use the skins I want even after changing armor. They won’t completely murder the demand for transmutation stones, and they shouldn’t. Guild Wars has always been getting the stat’s you want easily but the look you want hard and this would completely ruin that concept.

Bump-D-Bump, I say Bump-D-Bump! AAyyy!

This idea is fantastic, and it wouldn’t lose A-Net anymore money than making the game free did, so what’s the problem? The whole transmutation charge thing is bogus really. Since A-Net introduced the wardrobe and made it so we could bank a bunch of styles, transmutation should have been scrapped. What’s the point of a personal wardrobe if you’re being charged to use it? Especially when you are charged for changing a single armor piece back to match the style you’re wearing each and every time you equip something different, or something with better stats… Transmutation made sense when there wasn’t a wardrobe, because you were literally changing the items structure to that of another… Having a style wardrobe where we can just change our look up on the fly means getting rid of limiters. Who the heck charges their clothing dresser when they need a fresh pair of underwear in the morning? No one, not in this world, not in any world.
