Guild Wars 2

Based on the wording from the wardrobe announcement, it sounds like the town clothes will be the ones going through the biggest change. As far as the armor skins like Profane/Krytan/Primeval armors that replace current pieces of armor, those look like they will be added to the wardrobe options. Since those 3 are on sale today, I think I’ll buy them.
It sounds like town clothes sets (mad king, witch, pirate) will be available for unlimited use, and it sounds like you can turn them on and off at will. They will just be in a separate “outfit” slot that will show over your armor when turned on. No charges to equip and you don’t have to commit the outfit to a set of armor. I believe GW1 has a similar function (separate equipment slots for costume headpiece and costume body). Doesn’t sound like the woes the above post is foretelling to me.
I can’t figure out what " basic clothing items that are no longer available for purchase" they’re referring to that will become tonics. Maybe those old hoody sweatshirts?

From the wardrobe announcement article:
“Town Clothes sold through the gem store as outfits, such as the Pirate Captain’s Outfit, will be usable as a single outfit skin through the Wardrobe. Purchasing an outfit will unlock it for all characters on your account to use. Outfits will replace the look of equipped armors, are equipped in a separate appearance slot, and do not require Transmutation Charges to use. Single items, such as the Fuzzy Hats and Scarlet’s Spaulders, will be unlocked for your entire account and usable with any armor weight. Some basic clothing items that are no longer available for purchase will be converted into endless tonics.”
