Issues with helmets and clipping on my Norn (Medium armor)

My Norn Engineer has clipping/cosmetic issuses with almost every single medium helm skin. Anything with straps that should go behind my head taper off near my hairline, anything that goes over my head sits on top of it like a beanie leaving my neck entirely exposed. This isn’t me kittening about 1 specific skin either, I bought 1 of every single medium helmet skin i could find on the ah and tried them on all had the same issues. I have previewed every single dungeon helmet, the world v world, and the 42k karma helmet, all of them have some kind of issue. The only helms ‘that i’ve been able to track down’ that look as intended are the Pirate’s hat and the Order of Whispers helm.

Anyone else?

(This is all about 5v5’s)
Guild Wars 2 needs private lobbys. Skirmishes are currently impossible, if two teams want to play against each other they have no way to. This hinders the best teams from getting better and it also eliminates things like IRC skrim leagues, the bread and butter of many competitive games.

If not private lobbys some kind of ranking system. The very best teams should be able to play matches against other good teams, and the new/bad should play against other similar skilled teams. Not a solo based matchmaking/rank, its a team game the ranking should be team based, a Team Ladder. The best teams will rise to the top of the ladder and be more likely to play against other teams high up on the ladder. (ala. GW1’s GvG). This rank doesn’t even have to be visible to the players, it just would help teams not get put into one sided matches.

Spectator mode. Although not necessary to actually make the game competitive it certainly helps make it more popular as it gives a much better way to watch the game.

Private lobbies are an absolute must, without them there are no tournaments, no skrims, only random matches. Ranking would make random matches more enjoyable, and spectator mode would make tournaments more watchable. Hopefully these features come soon, as without them real competition is pretty much impossible.
