Only one of the four I like is female Shining Blade. Both male costumes have weird shoulder parts and I think the White Mantle costumes look too 'clean', they just look off.

^ I agree. I just saw all of them on various characters, and the only one that looks like they put work into it is the female Shining Blade one.

All the other costumes are horribly rigid and seriously lack detail. They're all very......basic....especially for so much money.

The time spent making ingame gold is time spent having fun, not working. Anyone who treats farming or whatever he does to get gold as work should rethink what he's doing in this game at all.

My warrior with the Shining Blade costume looks more like a lumberjack than a rebel...

I regret selling my Victo's Battle Axe, I always wanted to be a lumberjack...

White Mantle Disguises? Err... You call THOSE, disguises?

Wow, those White Mantle must have been standing there with thimbles when the brains were handed out.

I bought them. Someone needs to take my debit card away from me. ._.

Mantle uniform needs some resizing. The mantle emblem (pin thingy?) that holds the cape on is way too big. It actually covers my face and thus looks stupid.

The Ranger uniform...err..Shining Blade uniform is a bit bland but I like it.

As always...Dont like being bald on my female mesmer. Boo on the headpieces. :P

You have to wonder if they only test these uniforms on male warriors and male monks. Those are about the only profession that can wear the mantle one without looking retarded...

I like how they look here rather than the promotional picture.

They're nice, just not "9.99 nice".

I wonder if we get something that we don't need to buy from the shop for the 5th anniversary? Besides the 5th year mini.

so as I see NcSoft is moving towards micro-transaction model.. and freaking expensive crappy items for your real money as well.. fail.

@Gill Halendt .. you are a lumberjack and you are ok, you sleep all night and you work all day..

The difference is, you spend your spare time playing GW, and you work in real life to earn the money you spend on a costume in a game. Not to mention you can get lucky and make more than enough gold for elite armor in like, 30 minutes.

Not saying that people who purchase these are idiots, just pointing it out.

If you'd actually read the War in Kryta website, then you'd know that the Shining Blade stole them and intend to use them as "disguises".

White Mantle look like a bunch of medics, and even when dyed look like a bunch of clown jesters. Shining Blade all look like a bunch of Robin Hood dervishes.

I need to get popcorn... for the twenty pages that will surely follow, full of hate and vitriol and spitting feathers... epic QQing about how "boohoo I hate costumes" and "everyone who disagrees or -gasp- BUYS them is stupid and I hate them too"... and how anet sucks... and how the sky is falling - under the weight of microtransactions. etc etc. BRB.

If you'd actually grown a sense of humour...
