What we actually need is ....
I’ve always loved that picture. It’s what WvW should be! Great banners held aloft in the glory of battle. Sadly they just get waved around at hip level then left behind on the floor (warrior banners) – when anybody bothers to run them anymore. And they don’t
look that epic except for the Battle Standard – and people only use that for the rez, so everybody is too busy doing fighting to see how amazing it looks. TL;DR I would like to see banner reworked so they always look awesome especially when posing with them.
Anyway, on topic, I agree with the OP, there are some really nice gears there – I think we’re talking helmet types (of which we do have a reasonable variety) and that main guy has a cloak, that’s what we really want (I think we don’t have cloaks because they’d clip on charrs – I’m beginning to really dislike charrs for this reason).

As far as I can see, there’s nothing on this picture that isn’t already implemented… o_O
I so wish the banners were made more useful when carried…
Leave it to A-net to decide whether the suggestion is possible or not.
On the norn with the banner, everything below the helm doesnt exist, nothing on the human left to him exists in game, nothing on the necro to the right exists, only the helm on the norn holding the axe exists, and on the guy with the hammer nothing exists. Trust me I checked every style available.
Overall I would say every gw1 armor set beats what gw2 has to offer except for cultural tier 3. Sad sad sad…

All of them exist in the game…they just (might) not look as good. But the same styles exist.

Man! I don’t know how one can tell Professions in that concept art picture, with the exception, maybe, of Warrior (though anyone can pick up a banner).
The armors look familiar to me, but maybe I’m just not seeing the detail(s). /shrug
