legendary armor ahem
They have said in the AMA that it’s to prevent clipping. It does look awful though.

Wait wait wait… they said THAT was intentional?
yea, but it’s worse than they thought, so they’re working on reducing it.
Same with the dyes, they’re all bright and light, it’s partially intended, but things are waaayy worse than they intended them to be, so we’ll see a legendary armor patch in the near future
Is that the legendary floating backpack?
O.o
Why simplify things when its so easy to complicate them ?
youa re so op items dont even dare to touch you
They received feedback from their alpha testers that they preferred floating backpacks to the extra clipping that would happen if they were moved closer.
And the ironic thing is that for every single person who complained about the floating backpack, there would be at least that many people (and indeed many of them would be the same people) complaining about the clipping that would have resulted if the attach point hadn’t been moved back.
Which means that threads like this are useless spam, as people would have complained regardless.
More ppl want cliping.
Do you have data to back that up? Because according to the data Anet collected while the armor was in testing, your claim is flat incorrect.
There was a dev created poll about it in the forums. Clipping voters were more by a good difference.

The “data” anet collected were during closed testing. The “data” of which i speak of are in the thread about the backpiece placement in the fractals raids dungeons subforum, feel free to look at them.
Good luck
You forget how people who don’t mind it are far less likely to come to the forum to praise it than those who hate it. So the responses in that thread are heavily biased towards people who don’t like it to be floating, and even then when I read through it there was a fair amount of support for the floating over clipping.
That thread is not a reliable source of information just due to the inherent bias forums have wherein a lot of people will come out to complain, and relatively few will come out to offer praise.
I dont know, you try to make arguements to help your case. Its not about praising something or critisising it. Its a poll that who ever sees it can vote if they like it as it is or not. All types of ppl with all kinds of opinions can see that poll style thread by paul and say their opinion. Regardless, the devs themselves said that in testing ppl said it looks better which wasnt the case with the playerbase in the live game.
