Yes, the time of magic and dragons and giant robots made by tiny guys that live underground and have huge eyes and gigantic ears. Definitely the glasses that stand out as being unrealistic...

Anyway, to me the most visually unappealing profession in GW would be that of the male warrior. Especially when they wear that bra that just makes their tubbiness stand out even more.

I just can't stand Prophecies female mesmer faces. >>

Good thing you qualified that, OP.

I remember when Elvira hosted MTV one Halloween and played the top 100 most Horrific videos, Thriller came in 2nd place - but the one that took 1st was so badly and poorly made that a C movie would have run away and cried for the damage to the industries standards. Afterall, there are many ways of defining what is horific.

I have been disgruntled at the lack of bodies and options. That one could not create and maintain a clan or family of characters, regardless of initial game, without sacrificing similarity of appearance has been irritating.

I have complained a great deal about the Necro males all looking like they have degenerative diseases and severe spinal deformity. Had they made the female necro this way I am sure some feminist group would have been marching in the streets of LA shouting chants against ANet.

Hoping GW2 will offer:

Different body types to each profession, (EDIT IN: Endomorph, Mesomorph, and Ectomorph)
Equal access to all types of racial features,
Choice of facial hair for all male characters,
Choice of hair styles from several different periods (ie. 3 from 1800s, 3 from 1920s, 3 from 1950s, 3 from 1980s, 3 from modern, and 3 wild new things) for all classes,
and lastly, hair salons so women I know will quit killing off developed characters for a new hair style.

On armor, I am hoping the following:

Consistancy in theme and especially motif for specific areas and cultures, with armor rating available based on character level regardless of location.
Greater options when dying, both in color and multiple areas of armor.
Ability to dye ornamentation in the hair to match armor.
A range of armors in each cultural area that will provide for different levels of exposure/prudishness (ie. Females: 1 tease-me, 1 casual day at the park, 1 evening formal, and 1 decadent extravagant goddess//ie. Males: 1 loincloth max coverage, 1 I'm-Hunting-Wabbits, 1 Spit and Polish, and 1 wicked I'm-the-!Chit!).

At least have a few decent dresses for the women!

(Yeah, I would put you all in whalebone corsets if I could...)

Yes, definitely want this put in GW2...I'll be sure to have my Flapper-haired, ectomorphic, pink loincloth wearing ranger that hangs out in the red-light district (yes, GW2 should have one) and spams WTB hash....

GW2 should have some kind of philanthropy system where big ballin guilds have mandatory tithings based upon a relative rank/fame/whatever point system which would be given to poorer guilds in the same allegiance. Then those poor guild members can be properly subsidized with torment shields and what-not, and be given mandatory lessons on how not to be a scrub...

In my opinion only eles and mez can pull off the glasses, maybe monks
The only person that doesnt like chaos gloves is a person that cant afford them. I think chaos gloves look best on mez.
Bandannas are for dervs and warriors
blindfolds are for rits and necros

LOL WHUT? I can afford chaos gloves thanks, but they are, by far, the single most hideous piece of common armor out there. Oh noes, someone who didn't fit your generalization

d00d, u jus dun leik dem n ur jealouz bout it lololol

Guessing I'm not the only one who thinks some people generalize too fast.

I can afford them, I got them for my necro because I thought they looked good on him. I still don't want/need them for all my characters, as they don't look good on everyone, kinda like bandanas, which look good on OTHER professions than warrior and dervish.

I think the ugliest thing in GW is any EOTN female monk armour with a bandanna. They always look like cancer victims.

Wait. Someone said paragons are more buff than male mesmers. No they're not. I'm not vouching for how pleasant their badly textured bodies are, but I'm quite sure they have the same builds as warriors. Mesmers, that is.

Male mesmers have ugly pot bellies under their armour...

Hence myself regretting taking off the armour.

However, they still have pecs. Surely that counts somewhere.

Any class does.

Warrior pig plate armor and the ridiculous floating headgear on elementalists and paragons.

and please reserve the chaos gloves for mesmers =)

Well, considering the cultural context...I'll let a snippet of Kusandaa's post sum this up:

What do you want Mesmers to do, gw? Chug brews, throw footballs and abuse women?

Somewhat agree, when it comes to armor choices, because they look somewhat too similar. I don't like them to wear fur, either. Doesn't make sense to wear fur when rangers are supposed to be attuned to nature eh?

That being said, male rangers have one of the best bodies in the game - not skinny, not too buff, just nice enough. I made a male ranger from Prophecies (because it has a face I like the most), and I'm happy on how good he looks.
