I do not like this armor as well, but it just a matter of taste. There are some really nice armors in the game and I really appreciate the effort not to make ALL of the female armor sets showing as much skin as they can. Some of the male armor sets have showing skin in similiar way too and again, I appreciate that. Unlike some games GW2 is at least trying to comply to all.
You can’t expect that there will be no armor like that. Some people like it. Some people buy games for this. If you don’t like it, then don’t buy it. You can always find different armor and use trans stone and get the stats if you want…
(Still, sure, we can argue about the functionality of this armor and how it wouldn’t stand a chance in real fight…)
