i think it will be a good idea, i have a norn warrior and i always thought it will look more savage and barbaric in his bare chest like the mossman form fractals. Also in some models and arts of gw1 norns where showing thier chest too.
I could care less about the skimpiness or whatnot.
However, I’d be more than happy to see more of my Charr’s awesome fur pattern and the torso area does provide the most of it. It’s such that makes most Charr unique from each other besides armor after all, that and such detail is a shame to cover up.
This is actually a good idea, but as posters above me said, it should be for male and female characters.
Not trying to say it just for people to be skimpy, but norn could show off theyre tattoos, charr could show off their stripes and actually go supersaiyan with that new hairdo.
As long as the characters are wearing something underneath their armor, theres not a problem with this idea.
While were talking cosmetic changes, why not get rid of transmutation charges instead of punishing people who want to change clothes on the go? I mean they did it with trait points, and if they really need the money that bad they could just do the boxed expansion idea that everybody is already ready to throw $40 down on ( playable quaggans and kodans pls ). Being able to dye weapons would also be a neat idea but some weapons are just lame recolored versions of other weapons so that might upset people.
Going back on topic, this idea should have been implimented already. If the reason people have a problem with it would be because of people making female characters and wearing no clothes, all i have to say is its a legit strategy! Especially when playing as a skimpy female character gives you the advantage of distracting your opponant! Who would be able to combat you when they dont even have theyre hands on the controls?! Perfect legit strategy.

I’d like to see a “barely there” set of armor (or 2) in each weight class. Then we can use the wardrobe to mix and match them with other sets as we see fit.
I figure this is more likely than a “hide armor” toggle for the main body, both because there will still be “something” there, and because armor toggles don’t generate gem sales.
Sarcasm, delivered with a
delicate, brick-like subtlety.
Well, we definitely need more skimpy options for males, regardless. It should be balanced between the genders. So far, unless you’re a Norn, there’s really only two heavy armor torso’s that are skimpy. One covers the arms, the other the shoulders. Not good enough. :-P The Gem Store ones is just a re-skin of another one already in game, with flames animation. Light really only has one that shows the chest, and that’s just barely, at least in PvE. (Again the Gem Store one is a reskin + flames.) Norns have a few more options, but I prefer humans.
Every time a thread like this pops up and somebody says “less skimpy armor for females,” I’m forced to wonder if they’re playing the same game as me.
I mean, I guess if you play nothing but light armor classes, you might get kind of a distorted picture? Most of the “skimpy” stuff is light armor shirts. Even most light armor pants (cough… I mean, victorian skirts) cover just about everything. Medium armor is 90% long coats and long pants. And heavy is 90% steel leggings and mail shirts.

Every now and then I get the urge to gripe about skimpy heavy armor for female characters, but realize it’s a skewed perception created by the fact the heavy armors I would like to use the most on my female guardian (Phalanx and Grasping Dead) happen to be the few that look nothing like the male version.
So while it’s only 18% of heavy norn female that are skimpy, 100% of the sets I find the most appealing are skimpy. My only options are to just give up on those sets or shell out gems for a name change and makeover kit.

Males and Females, yeah. But, yes, it should have been added as a checkable / uncheckable option when they added the option for arms. I changed the title and my OP.

That’s understandable. Thanks for being honest about it.
I just want some skimpy armor options for male avatars. I can’t even find one that bares my arms. Especially something like a more cutaway version of masquerade armor, sophisticated/skimpy.
Equal representation and more options/customization the ftw!

Yeah that’s my gripe with the torso of the Pit Fighter. Yeah it shows the chest and back pretty well, but it hides the arms. PLUS it’s ONLY heavy… which makes no sense… There’s no Light armor more skimpy than a HEAVY one?

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

“Pieces of this set were unlocked through the previous structured PvP reward system. Players cannot currently obtain it.”
I’d love to know if and when they’ll make it available for PvE.
the whole set could be obtained b4 the April Patch from sPVP (only if your pvp rank 30+)
now its gone for good, trust me. not even from pvp
I personally sent tons of emails to Anet, and submitted thousands of tickets to ask them bring it back but neh.. they decided to either ignore me or dismiss me with ‘I don’t know when will it come back’
