Guild Wars 2

As i recently turned lvl80 i have been looking around at the kind of armor / weapons i would like to be working towards. Here i noticed that the fairly normal armor i am wearing now appeals to me much more than the specially themed armors…

So i would like to suggest adding ‘Elite’ versions of the more regular styled armor pieces, so that would be:
- Elite Pirates Armor
- Elite Studded Armor
- Elite Rawhide Armor
- Elite Swindler Armor
- etc…

I am fairly sure these now basic armor designs can be kept 90% the same, but still enhanced them by about 10% to give them a more elite appearance. Giving those people that prefer a more ‘general/normal’ appearance more choices than the Caudecus Manor armor.

Refurbishment of these already existing armors would also be a fairly easy cost effective introduction of a bunch of ‘new’ elite armors. It would also give those that like a ‘normal’ over a ‘themed’ look a way to not be frowned upon by wearing a normal looking armor.

tnx for your time reading this suggestion and for your understanding, i am hoping to be able to wear my new elite armor soon ^^.

Pointless suggestion is pointless…

That was one of the big features advertised. The look of your armor is no longer tied to the stats and level of your armor. You could always choose to keep that low level armor you really liked.

Why would you care what anyone else thinks of your armor? All that matter is how you like it. Too proud to wear “trash” loot?

I myself am using the starting rawhide pants, and a basic white sword (transmuted onto my lvl 80 exo gear), and I love my look. I don’t need a special type of those 2 items, the regular ones work just as well! (At level 80 that’s actually quite rare I’d think)

@Zorby , i know what you mean, and don’t worry i am not too concerned about what others think, but i do hope you understand that I too would like to see and know I am wearing ‘elite’ armor and that i can look somewhat distinct, even if it’s just a 10% refurbishment of existing armor.
