15k kurzick is the winner, everyone loves it it looks..well.. menacing(sp) and its available in any stats u like.

all the other factions armors are pretty Fugly, i mean 15k plate looks awsome, but the stats are poo, hence we have glad clones patrolling the entire game. Guys if u need a hand with designing the armors, dont be afraid to ask, we all have ideas that may inspire u to try and inject a little bit of originality into more than 1 set of armor at a time.

Design an Armor contest. /signed

why not?

I think an armor design contest is a great idea!

The only problem is that the entries wouldn't be balanced. They'd have way, way more entries for some classes than others and more likely than not more designs for female characters than male ones.

It'd still work, though, if they said at the start what they needed (that is, one armour design per gender per class). Because let's face it, how many people are going to want to design male elementalist armour?

Alternatively, how about just a 'design a headpiece' contest?

I like most Ranger Armors, except Kurzick. Plus it would give me a chance to get artistic

I'd want to design a male elementalist and a male mesmer garment just because they all are horrible imo. We need better ones!

P.S. Kurzick armor isn't better than evrything else, itsa matter of opinion, like mine is
Assassin 15k Imps FTW
Necro 15k Lux FTW
Warrior 1.5/15k Kurzick FTW
Ranger 15k Canthan FTW
Ritualist, I dunno yet
Monk, dunno
Mes, dunno (all mes armor is kinda ugly)
Ele, most of their armor is ug but I prefer Luxon armor over Kurzick.

They should have a design an armor contest for each class one at a time. First week can be warrior, second can be ranger and so on.

Wouldn't it be cool to wear the White Mantle armor for Warriors? That would just own so bad!

Heh I might even try to design some decent looking warrior armor . Atm there are too many clones running around with Glads or 15k Kurz.

On another note, I think for this contest Anet picks the top 5 armors from each class (both genders) and show them to the community. On there website they can set up a poll for which armor gets in the game. If, say, the 2 armors get voted *very* closely then maybe they could add the runner up as well. For this they could put an announcement on the log in screen so everyone could participate.
