First off I would like to say that I really like the look of some of the gear that's in the game. With that said, I'd like to ask why you force some of the DoH classes to look rediculous.
A carpenter should look like this
A carpenter should not look like this
As a 50 CRP, trying to max my Vitality, I am forced into wearing a felt gown (which is ok I guess, but why would a carpenter want to wear a) a gown b) a felt gown), and these spandex looking pants with frilly poofs on the side (chausses). My favorite part of MMOs is making my character look cool. I'm seriously getting the impression that the equipment was all made for miqote, then scaled for other races. And I'm also getting the impression that the equipment was made with class/stats tied to these pieces of equipment merely just in hindsight.
Smith equipment looks appropriate for its classes (smithy's gloves, dodore doublet, vintage thighboots), so what the heck happened to carpentry? I know there is class specific equipment coming out for DoW and DoM, are there any plans to implement such for DoH and DoL? Also, why won't you guys ever give us boots that match, my Botanist is wearing all red raptorskin equipment, minus the brown boots that I was forced into wearing for the appropriate stats...
