Possible Graphics Bug for ANet to Fix ?

I just bought Gladiator's Tyrian Boots on my female Canthan warrior from Voldo the Exotic. I noticed on the graphic that the background is opaque gray instead of transparent. It is not only noticeable when the armor is on (shown in the boots part of the toon), but also when it is simply in inventory (the background of the inventory slot becomes gray instead of the normal black.

Has anyone else noticed this ?

Not sure if this is the same thing, but i have a similar problem... I dont have problems with my armor, but i do have a problem with certain trees, some water effects, fire imps, victo's axe, etc... when i look at them from 1 side they look normal, but from the other side they are plain grey...

I will attach a picture. Is it the same or similar problem??

So far i updated my videodrivers a few times... didnt help at all

EDIT: i think this post is more for Technicians Corner

Try reloading or updating directX after you update your video drivers. That worked for me.

I just bought the same boots, and I am having the same issue. It looks like this has gone unaddressed for quite some time. See attachments.
