To start with – You really did a great job with your GW2 armors, therer exists different armors, they are easy to combine, they are not professionbound and I know even better armors are coming. Still, ypu had soo great armors in GW1, of course, you shouldn’t copy them only and even if you would do so, they had to be overworked and some armors wouldn’t look good even then. Still, so many different styles in GW1 and so much less in GW2…
Hilarious looks
One bad point of the new look in GW2 is the hilariousity of many things. Overwhelming effects of legendary weapons, skins out of motos box, some armors like heavy karmor (looks like the evil in the eye of a 6-year olf with the skelleton mask and the thorns), CoF (also looks like the evil in a childrens show), SE (like darth vader aliens) or TA (like aliens in a erotic-trash-sc-fi-****) and the actual characters… female human can look like little girls (face) without any place to a stomach but with boobs far to big, male Norn look like heroman, a pure mass of muscles above a tiny amount of legs, and be it male Norns, Charr, Asura, male sylvari, they look not to bad in the common armors, but human and females Norn, sylvari look much better in them. (BTW, Rox can look like a kitten, but pls give her normal kitten eyes, they rather look like anime eyes, and pls give slender options for Norn and Human males, GW1 Norns and Braham also, if i remember right, didnt look sooo…, also even real man with a trained body are often more slender than the thinnest male without muscles).
All of them are kind of funny, but to see tons of them together with the half naked human scholars everywhere is horrible and noe wore is coming, the gauntlets, the backpacks… Even the terrible combinitions in GW1 to create so much skin like possible in the great Temple of Balthasar was nothing against GW2 ;P

Town Cloathing
There are funny, but also great looking ones like the Mad King armor, in GW1, these were also constumes, but you could wear them also while fighting, it is really sad, that you have these hilarious looking ones, but the nice ones are only costumes…

Furthermore I like normal skins, maybe overdressed, but like they are or were worn in reality. There are no problems with heavy armor looking like armor, also some of the middle armor look pretty normal, only for scholar (my favourite professions) look most skins totally unrealistic, like I said, how in a trash-****. There are no modern outfits (Inquest with leather pants instead could have been my most loved armor ever), there is the rare dungeon armor skin, which looks only ugly to me, the boring nun-outfit (equal to the guild-skin), the farmer-outfit (could look so great with pants instead the skirt) and the AC-outfit (looks also pretty dumb with no “real” pants). What i really want, are pretty skins like the actual town cloathing or Countess Anise outfit and i really fear, that there will only come more toen cloathes like this.
Heavy GW1-Armor
GW2 and GW1 have both great heavy armor, i prefer the GW1-armors, but there are more than enough nice ones in GW2, too. What I miss a bit are pretty skinny ones. Look at warrior vaabi , paragon sunspear or warrior gladiator (also pants instead of a skirt), I completly miss such armors in GW2, also in GW2 all skinny heavy armors look like gladiators or barbarians, paragon had only skinny armor and not one looked like a gladiator or a babarian (maybe Norn).
