The last time I checked, the art team would prefer that we not hold such a contest. For there are many, many elements of armour design that would not be understood by the general community, and it is extremely doubtful that any of the designs would be workable with our character models. In fact, most would decidedly not work at all, despite looking great in concept, I'm sure. Designing a weapon is relatively simple, and the weapon interacting with the character models and the armour of those models is something that the art team can work into the actual weapon design that they come up with based on the fan concept. However, according to those who are expert in this field, someone can design the coolest looking armour in the world, but it won't work at all with the character animation rigging, or it isn't resizeable, or it's not possible to create a form that resizes to body types and the two genders. I want to be very clear about something: There is no lack of cool ideas for great armour within the art team. I could say "go" and half a dozen artists could sketch out cool armour in 10 minutes. The time-consuming aspect is not the design or the conceptualization, it's making it work: Fitting it to all the body parts, hooking it to the vertices (I think that's the term  ) sizing and resizing, making sure that it looks great from every angle with every one of hundreds of different animations, emotes, etc., etc. So thank you for the suggestion, but that really would not address the major issue involved, which is the enormous amount of time and staffing needed to create new armours. --Gaile |

No more minis though, please. I like the little things but the whole Celestial Pig debacle was extremely poorly thought out and left a bad taste in my mouth.
People design a skill all the time. :P Most of them are pretty imba, though.
