Curse

First off, I want to thank ArenaNet for taking the time to read through Fansite Forums and taking our suggestions to heart. The new and constant changes in the patches definitely show that you listen to us.

My sugestion is for a change to the armor purchasing window, as said i the title

. I think that it would be nice if the window was expanded to include a image of your character next to the list of types of armor so that when you are trying to decide which armor to purchace you are able to see how it looks on you character. This added image would be simular to the one in the item window but only larger, and with the ability to zoom. From personl experence with my four characters I have spent and lost so MUCH Plat/Gp becasuse of spending it on armor that I just ended up selling back to the vendor. And in doing so obvioulsy recieving far less than I paid plus the loss of material Purly because I ended up not liking how the armor looked. You have to admit the current Armor window setup leaves alot to the imagination as far as how it will look on individual characters. So, with the addition of an image of the players character to the armor window would eliminate the neccesity for people to spend hours of their lives trying to find a decent picture of the armor in question on Google or on another player. The character template for choosing armor for a pvp charcter is simular to my idea - click on the armor and you see it on your character.

Another suggestion that corresponds to the last is in refrence to the dye situation. as of now the current dye situation is u dubble click and pray it dyes the article of armor the way you want. My suggestion is to have a seperate vendor(or what ever you whis to call it) to deal with the application of dye not the purchasing. this would have a window of the character and all available dye- with zoom and rotate and all that fun stuff. the difference here than in the current system it would allow the player to dye one article of clothing the way they want rather than hoping for ressults. and example: in the current system if you were to dye the droknars female geomancer's skirt -black lets say, it would automaticaly just dye the border, which is frustrating if u know the price of black dye. in the system i am proposing it would allow the player to dye part/half/all the skirt black in the way they chose with the bottle of dye. Still keeping the ration of one article per bottle but giving the player a little more flexibility and room for originalty in how they character appears.

Well tell me what you think, I would love to see my sugestions realized and I am sure I am not the only one desiring a change.

Guys typing /signed does sod all, don't be lazy and give some information.

I like this idea, it would have allow you to have a 3D preview of what the armor would look like on your character before you buy it.

Since at the moment its a guessing game of how it will look on yourself.

They updated the traders window, so this could be the next step.
