Change the town clothes back to the way they were. It was much nicer to be able to mix and match outfits and color them with the dyes. This is really disappointing not to mention confusing.
What a convoluted process it was to search around online to find out that I had to go see some NPC and then follow (cryptic and unhelpful) instructions on how to change my town clothes into a nonsensical mishmash of potions and consumable items. Did no one at Arenanet realize that this was a bad idea before implementing it? I mean, I STILL don’t know what the consumable clothing items do. They’re only single use so I don’t want to mess around testing to try to find out.
Change this stuff back. The wardrobe which stores the different item looks is fine. It could definitely use interface tweaks because it doesn’t seem to work right, but it’s fine. Please change the town clothes back or add them to a town clothes wardrobe that can be freely mixed, matched and dyed without cost.
