letting the people keep the current flamekissed design would be unfair. they can however, provide some sort of compensation like giving 800 gems AND letting them keep the new design.
Why would we want another skin instead? if we don’t end up liking it the replacement holds no value whatsoever, just junk that would sit in storage.
Unlocking cultural armor racial restrictions seems the most solid way to fix the problem but also the most work for anet. This would also allow much more character customization in terms of armour combination and gives players the ability to appear unique where t3 sets are almost the standard these days.
You can contact customer support to restore your toon’s look prior to applying the flamekissed skin if you still don’t like the new one. Isn’t the point of taking it out in the first place is so that cultural distinction via armor choices are maintained? I personally don’t want that restriction lifted.
At least you get to have an extra 800 gems as compensation if they follow my suggestion.
The point is more that we are left with gems that we didn’t ask for and an armour set we quite possibly don’t want in exchange for far more useful currency (either more in game gold then what you can resell the gems for or RWM).
That’s fair enough though with the cultural restrictions, I think everyone will have their own opinion on that.
I’m sorry but I have to agree with people saying that nobody really bought the skins with RWM. They bought it with gems and thus are entitled for refund on gems/ingame items alone, not RWM. They might release something you’d like in the future so maybe you can save those extra gems they may send you?
I do understand how you feel though, and it’s reasonable to feel that way. TBH, I also bought the flamekissed armor and would like to keep the current skin particularly because it is an improved version of the human t3 cultural armor which i am very fond of, especially since my character IS human.
Yeah we are likely only entitled to a gem refund, however this still screws people over despite being legally sufficient. For those of us who did buy gems just because this particular skin looked extremely nice, who otherwise wouldn’t have bought them feel like we have been cheated only getting “store credit” back.
I imagine others feel the same but I’m not keen to purchase anything from a company when I’m not sure if I will actually get the product or just end up out of pocket and with store credit lol.
The irony of that is pretty amusing too, those of us on human characters using the human cultural reskin having it removed so only human characters can wear that particular model :P

I love the new armour set and own both a t3 set and a flamekissed set on my necro (human), mixing and matching between the two. “Exclusivity” went out the window for t3 many months ago, at least 1/3 players have a character in t3 human.
Introduce a replacement set in the gem store but let those who have already purchased the old set keep it. I think I speak for everyone who bought this set when I say, If we are forced to change even with the option of a refund who would seriously buy gems again? every time you go to buy something from the gem store you would have to ask yourself “Am I actually going to get to keep what I’m buying?”.
While it may be legally correct to refund just gems (as technically the gems were what we purchased with RWM) players wouldn’t consider that even. Ideally we would want to keep the set, second to that we want whatever we put in to get the gems, either a RWM refund or the cost of BUYING 800 gems with in game money.
Final Comment:
In the first place this really should have been the design for ascended armour using the various races t3 as a base. That being said forced removal of the set for players who have already purchased it is very bad form.
Hey, can I get an invite too pls
