[Suggestion] Simple, streamlined armor
personally i enjoyed more the armor sets form gw1.
Not only would your class have its own class specific armor ( tho necro,monk,mezmers and elementalists were “cloth” users, not a single one was the same) they also had a distinct theme going around with them.
out of all light armors in gw2 id say only 7 (for my taste) would feel mage/wizard/elemental magic like…the rest are
-common folk npc armor
-dark skull hooded necromancer armor
-pirate armor?
-masked mezmer good looking tuxedo armor
while in gw1 armors were themed with its own class, as well as the area where you got the armor it self
your ele could have a fire,ice,earth,thunder armor theme going on. or you could be wearing a kryta style armor, or cantha style armor (with a elementalist theme,such as long capes)
and then there were also prestige (elite) armor, which were a much more detailed versions of the ones mentioned before.
I wish Anet would introduce 3 new in game obtainable armor for each class that goes with the theme of the class…
then again, its a brand new world here in gw2, 250 years made its effect on the world of style and armor…not to mention submarines,flying aircrafts and helicopters ….and guns,bombs and laser shooting cannons… honestly why are we even using swords and bows anymore?
-more cultural sets, cause people sometimes play a race for a reason
-“fractions\classes within a race” sets
-more dungeon armor like sets (cultural like but usuable by everybody)
-class specific designed sets (!!!!!!)
-more weightless skin pieces to put some weight on or take of..depending on the taste
-some more freaky and\or dark designs to weight out the flamboyant stuff
(rytlocks upcoming armor is a very good example)
heck.. toss it into the gem store for all i care…just bring it on a-net
