Ever skip a piece of gear just because it's ugly?

Me. I can't stand Macuahuitls or the head/body armors. I would rather be undergeared for a few levels, than use those pieces.

Where are our katanas, bastard swords, basket-hilt claymores, Northman broadswords...?

I skipped Paladin Darklight Armor and Flanchard because they look absolutely terrible. And yes, I skipped all other Heavy Armors/Flanchards of that design as well as all Macuahuitls, too. And Subligars.

Same as Riepah... I will be skipping the Warrior Darklight armor because I do not wish to be a tincan.

I'm wearing the notoriously ugly Heavy Allagan Cuisses + Warrior Jackboots combo. So...nope!

I love being a scholar but I hate their clothes. Until I either get the allegan gear or vanity slots come out im gonna be hating how I look. I would honestly skip the year and wear CTT stuff, but I haven't gotten it yet and I kind of need to be geared for BC turn 4 (where allegan healing tunic drops). Which actually brings up a question, has anyone heard how vanity slots will work?

Not so ugly on Miqo'te, but horrible on everyone else.

Went from Hoplite Tabbard to i90 chest and head. I...just...couldn't...stomach it.

Personally I don't mind flanchard and never got the hate against them.

Though on that same note I refused to play my scholar until I got darklight and don't want to buy any myth gear for mine (especially that hideous hat and shoes).

My pet tank calls the Macuahuitls "cricket bats" but at the same time is a conscientious dude who'll always wear the best gear available . . . so I over-melded a HQ Macuahuitl for him just because I knew he'd never be able to pass up using it.

Poor guy took nearly ten levels to find a better sword. Muh ha ha ha!
