A Prayer For Pants

Oh, Great Gods of Tyria! I beg of you to grant me my boon!

Long have I wandered the Realms of Tyria, and yet, I lack a most necessary item. When I was young, a mere stripling in the Beautiful land of Ascalon, I was gifted with a pair of pants for the cost of a mere 3 spider legs. They fit well, and I liked them, but they had a problem. They were a bright, glaring white, and refused to change their dominant color, no matter what I did to try to dye them.
As I traveled, I have found many beautiful pieces of armor across this great world, but they all are skirts cut so high I cannot bear to wear them. And so I have been wearing a lovely mix-and-match set, thus: Linkie

Now when I heard the cries of help from the dwarves, I quickly traveled to the far shiverpeaks to lend my assistance. There I discovered the Norn, and they also had new armors. Well, after looking thorugh their selection I saw that, although they do not have pants, they do have Heavy Hose and a short skirt. Excellent! I though. This will go wonderfully with my outfit, and they AREN'T white!
I looked around and I saw a male wearing his version of my armor, and he demonstated that the heavy coat was seperate from the pants, as thus:
FullTopPants
Perfect! I though, and I spent My hard earned Platinum.
Only to discover THIS!

Horrible! Somehow, bottom half of the coat has become fused with the waist of my new skirt-and-hose! I spoke to many Norn, and they have told me that this is the way things are, and if I wish it changed, I must petition the Gods. And so I have, oh great gods of Tyria! Please, grant me this Boon of Pants!
<Just keep Balthazar out of the design process please. I've seen the FoW armor, and I would rather wear white.>

AMEN!
- Leia Delnassia


(Dear Anet: Please change the Norn Female Elementalist Armor to make the lower half of the Coat model is part of the Robes/Cuirass/Main body model, instead of part of the leggings, much like the Norn Male Elementalist armor. Thank You, - EbeneezerSquid)

oh.. my.. god...
Apparently, ANet is the Walmart of the MMO industry; most of their employees are mentally handicap.
Seriously, one or more of the designers having Down Syndrome or some crap is the only explanation to this.

Well that must've totally blew your day...I'd be pretty disappointed about something like that, myself. You have my condolences.

Wow, that's a shame, really it is. It would look great without the bottom of the coat hanging there, wouldn't it? Sadly, I doubt Anet will do anything about that. It's really too bad.

Woah. That is messed up. And I am so not going to get Norn armor for my ele, then. And shouldn't this be in Sardelac?

@OP: I enjoyed reading your post, and that is indeed unfortunate. I hope your plea is answered, or perhaps you could consider other alternatives.

They should be wearing cups. No wonder they lost if they can't even get something that simple right.

Another hideous outcome of the lack of effort designing the new armors.

I guess that is the price for being a female Elementalists and to think of all the Female Warriors.When you get rich enough you can go out and get set of these

Ugh, good lord. Let's just agree to disagree. *repairs his damaged retinas* See, I thought I was the only one that hated that set...

I see as I look here that is not the case... [facedesk]

'Tyrian' armor from either Drok's or Voldo the exotic in Wajjun Bazaar both come with pants at 1k each plus materials. Whether it dyes or not no idea though, may be the same as the pre collector armor. The look is certainly quite similar if not exactly the same. Ancient Armor from the bone palace in the Desolation and Primeval armor from the NF endgame similarly have pants, but I'd say the style would be a less likely mix. Of course, the floating bottom half of a coat looks retarded enough that Anet may actually do something. Either way, GL!


Edit: Primeval has the form you want, for sure: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Element...l_armor/Female
Dunno about a style match, that's up to you.

Female Ele FoW armor is almost as stylish as putting a wing and japanese stickers on your mom's Taurus.

I'd just like one well designed set that isn't designed to show off what my female ele had for breakfast the day before.
