Anet, please introduce a try-before-you-buy' system for armors.
I dont mind if it isnt in GW1, though i beleive it is doable.
Make it like a preview window for dyes ecept instead of previewing the color make it preview the armor pieces you could buy from that trader. Have a little box which you put a tic in infront of the armor piece, or next to the materials and then have a 'preview' button on the other side of the screen from where it says 'buy' like that you cant click on the 'buy' button (im very twitchy arnt i?) by accident. When you hit 'preview' a window shows up in a dye window window style (xD) with the selected armor pieces down one side (like where the dyes are in a dye preview window) and like the dye preview, your character in the picture wearing the wanted 'preview-selected' armor pieces.
Im still trying to think up a way to make that work with armor part you have in your inventory to make armor combos and look at them before you buy them.
As i said at the start, this doesnt have to come in GW1 but it should be looked at for GW2.
Heres why: I bought a MoTMZ before the beard bug was discovered and was so discuseted by the way it looked with my characters beard piking out of it i sold it to my GHs merchant. The same goes for blindfolds: i havnt bought one for fear of the same happening, exept this time with my hair cliping horribly.
Hope you guys agree, and i hope i was clear....

Good idea, but this was suggested literally three years ago and they haven't done crap. Maybe GW2 will get some love.

Good idea, would be awesome if you could do it all from one spot, so you could try a bit of one armor with a bit of another armor to see if they looked nice together.

Idea is good, but I think it might be a bit better if you pay a small fee say a couple platinum or do some quest or something. Then it'll change your armor (like how you upgrade heroes armor) to look exactly like the armor for say 5-10 minutes or until you leave town. Then you can see exactly what it would look like on your own character and see if theirs any glitches or things you don't like.
Either way /signed for gws 2.

WOW has a feature where you mouse over an item and it will show how it would look on your character... no reason not to put this into GW2 at least.

[email protected] Let's not add magic, because it's in WoW and it would be WoW clone. Let's also not use weapons, it's already in WoW and we don't want another clone of it either. Oh, and trees, they are in every MMO game :/ Except for EVE.
/signed, would help, wouldn't make anyone sad.

But I'd keep it simple... just a preview window for the individual piece before making the purchase... not a mix-n-match.

Never played WOW don't want to play WOW and do not care one way or the other if WOW is rubbish or the best game in the world.
However it is silly not to copy something if its a good idea.
Putting your mouse pointer over something to see it on your character is not just a pretty good idea its a great idea.
Steal it use it and forget where it came from.
oh and GW isnt going to become a WOW clone because the basic WOW idea is flawed.

I'm neutral on this one. I do see the point but at the same time it can't be that hard to look it up on Wiki. I don't need a picture to see exactly how it will look on my character. /halfsigned

And it's as flawed as the logic of the argument of "it's on wiki we don't need a preview screen." Which is flawed because 1. it's a one sided picture, not 3d view and 2. the wiki doesn't have your character's face, hair, height, skin color, hair color. And that makes it look different on your character then on the wiki's character.
I /signed this before, I'll /sign it again.

Hmm, I like preview windows, I like the idea however it is possible to do something similar now - but only with single pieces.
Borrow a friend's armour - the one you intend buying, and then dye it. The dye preview pops up with that armour on your character.

Need I say more? I can't be seen in public without that stupid crown, which is a problem in itself.

GW2 is already becoming a WoW clone in some ways by borrowing a lot of traditional RPG elements to boost PVE play. This is a good thing because PVE in GW is crap.
/signed for this idea anyway, in GW2, armor should drop amd there should be an epic scale of items in PVE, but levels and armor / weapons should be capped for PVP like in GW1.
Better PVE without a negative impact on PVE is a good thing, even if it borrows ideas from WoW.

Also works for weapons which are customized.
However, since this concept is already implemented, there is no reason not to put it on. Make it like a tailor, where u atleast semi put it on before you buy.

There's only so much information you can glean from the Wiki, even with the number of clones out there, it is unlikely that your own characters will match those in the armour preview pictures.
