Let's stop all the bad gear design SE.

I'm sure somewhere in the forums it was mentioned at some point, but can we please get some fashionable gear designs in the upcoming updates. I can design better outfits myself then some of the stuff we've been getting lately. Prime example being the new Syrcus Tower sets, which if I may speak freely here are complete monstrosities. Lets not forget the lazy job grouping sets like the ones in The Binding Coil of Bahamut 1 and 2.

It's disappointing because we actually do have a lot of really great overlooked concepts that exist in the game already.

Exhibit A: The NPC Genevieve at the Gladiator's guild.

Raise awareness, and we can all be immersive and fabulous in the future.

I guess you never looked at the new i80 dungeon drops at all

I do agree that the Syrcus sets are ugly as hell. The caster and healer robes work somewhat, minus the completely horrifying headgear, that is.

I guess you're susceptible to missing the point.

I don't think they missed the point at all. Yes, some of the designs we've gotten are pretty out there, but not everything is Parisian Chic. I happen to think some of the gear we've been getting is pretty good... but at the same time there's some real head scratchers. Like the Flame Elite Shawl... seriously, what the hell is that? Looks like something right out of the Conan MMO.

Meanwhile the Twin Adder Equivalent makes you look like the gorram snake pope.

Another poor example of design. Not sashay at all...

TBH OP, your thread title is missing the point.

Not gonna argue that the Uldah uptown civilian outfit would make for some nice glamour, but saying all the new gear design is bad? I'm sure you dye all your gear black too.

Fashion complaints are pointless. They will never be able to design enough gear to keep every single person happy. Peoples tastes are all very different.
