Agreed. The sheath on the back is hideous and clips everything. The strife vest looks great from the front and I would definitely use it for glamour but I am mostly looking at my character from the back meaning I would have to look at that stupid sheath the entire time. Maybe thats SEs plan. Make it so not many people want to wear it so that half the server isnt wearing it. I know its stopping me from wearing it.

And there are alot of people that dislike it. This topic has popped up every time a new group of players gets it. Starting with the people that got it right away by paying 6 months ahead. Then the 3 months people and now everyone who has subbed since the start of ARR should have it.

But this is the first time I can remember anyone actually defending it and calling it "iconic" even though it has appeared far more times without the dumb sheath than with it.
