what do I do if I like my current gloves but - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I never liked the look of Chaos gloves, and I like them even less now that everyone and his dog has them. In fact, I don't like the look of any of the EotN gloves. I think the guys who design good looking gloves must be working on GW2 and left the EotN glove design to someone who likes things big and ugly or really, really shiny. If the same guys had designed the glasses, they'd be really big and have things sticking out everywhere like a carnival costume.

That being said, I did get the chaos gloves for my Mesmer, for the "bling". They are not quite so over the top (just the hands, no arms).

Yes? Who is it?

GW society. We've had some complaints about your characters.

Like what?

For one thing, none of them have Chaos Gloves.

Well, no. I don't like the looks of them and the glowiness hurts my eyes.

Uh, huh. For another thing, not ONE of your characters, even your monk, has a set of armor dyed black. We KNOW you have 40+ black dye, so there's no excuse for this.

Hey, my monk's scalp tattoo is black! I thought it went quite well with his silver/white Judge's armor and black/silver Undead weaponry. Pretty sharp looking, if you ask me. My ele just prefers gold armor, which looks great with his weapon sets. (Have you seen his elite Kurz set? Gold trim really stands out on the black & gray base, and goes nicely with the amber jewels! Dying it black would be dull, dull, dull -- making him look goth or something. Meh.) My ranger, given the huge amount of brown in most ranger armor sets, thinks ...

Stop. GW Society isn't buying your explanations. Standards must be maintained. We'll give you one week, and then we'll be back. Good day to you, sir.

Oh, heavens! Whatever shall I do? I would really hate to be on the outs with GW Society!

Don't be a noob wannabe thats W/Mo with Obsidian Armor, Choas Gloves, Crystalline or Eternal Swords, with a tormented shield.

There are just simply too many of those types. Not only are they super ugly, you could effectively make an unique and interesting style with just a simple imagination and a fraction of the cost.

Get Destroyer Gloves, Get Glacial Gloves, Get Stone Gauntlets - those three elemental gloves are probably the best looking in the game.

Just get an elite armor set you like, dye it in same color, and add weapon that goes well with armor.

Don't mix too much, 'cuz that looks funny if you don't mix it right.

I bought chaos gloves only for my ele, 'cuz she looks nice in them.
But I'd never buy them for warrior, or ranger or any non-caster proffession.
Not even for mesmer.
Only ele, monk and ritualist girls can look nice in chaos gloves.

Destroyer are good with most deldrimor armor parts and destroyer weapons.

But glacial and stone are ugly.

Dragon ones can look cool on some warrior or ranger, but they have too much clipping.

omfg are you serious? do whatever you want. All 10 of my characters have the armor I liked best for that class - a little bit of fow, mostly not. Most are a mix of elite and non elite pieces, just what I liked best. When people tell me to get fow on this char or that char, I just laugh. and imho chaos gloves are ugly, I'll never own a pair, but I do have a bunch of torm weapons cause I like them.
