Gear design

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

GW2 unlocks things skin by skin and I can't recall any cases where there's 2 variants that dye (or don't) differently for a skin.
For armour at least. Weapon skins do have clones.

Well yes, but GW2 also doesn't add gear at nearly the rate. I think it took them what, 5 years? or w/e for the first expansion, and the only new gear appearances they added between launch and that was cash shop.
