CW looks like a peasant

Are there any plans to make better looking armor skins for the CW? Everyone else has great looking equipment. We have the same exact models the entire game. A little love?

I was really disappointed in the lack of armor customization. It seems like they may put that stuff behind pay walls.
*sigh* At least I can still get that when it comes out with the ADs
It's kind of hard to feel like the master of my own destiny or like I'm on some kind of epic journey. Ya know why? Because I just passed by 8 other guys doing the exact same thing, wearing the exact same clothe, with the same NPCs saying the exact same things to them! Plus I create little personalities and backstories for my characters (because I'm so sad and lonely and have no real friends), but it really takes me out of the experience when I pass by someone whose wearing the same outfit, all new levels of weird if they look exactly like me.
Come to think of it, it's kind of a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> move.
Think about it for a sec, there's a style tab that allows you to change the visuals on your equipment. But for many levels, your equipment looks pretty much the same. The only exceptions are special gears that only drop in dungeons/skirmishes/instances/random luck.
Lets say that you get this special gear, and you slot it into one of your visual slots. Unlike other games, where this is usually free and can easily switch it out if you don't like your look. This game forces you to pay ASTRAL DIAMONDS, and quite a few in order to slot the equipment.
The thing about that is, you better hope the equipment you have is the best in the land because unslotting and reslotting is gonna leave quite a big chunk in your astral diamond vault. I suspect this is why they put in so many inconsequential armor pieces that look the same. So that you'll want to slot in new stuff, this hampers your ADs, and then they give you SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW THAT'S A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THAN YOUR EQUIPMENT! So then you have to choose between the better stats or your custom look (that isn't really custom).
Either that or they just didn't feel like making new visuals. It seems kind of lazy. BUT I'M THE KING OF LAZY, SO WHO AM I TO CRITICIZE! I'VE STILL GOT TWO DRAWINGS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A MONTH! >:V
I can't really blame them though.
I'd probably do the same thing. lol
This is a problem with every class. Armor variation in this game doesn't kick in to around level 40, and it's even worse because dyes are no expensive and you can't get them with in-game currency. Almost everyone you see that is your class and your level will look like you, unfortunately. Luckily, I'm level 40 and the armor choices are a bit more diverse. It's still pretty slim (in terms of looks, not stats) but at least I feel like an individual now.
