That's progress at least where they recognize it's not intentional.The other day, I did see this one report of oversized pauldrons was successfully moved to the Confirmed/Planning to Address bug section. I'm hoping the devs will continue to fix more outfits like this.

I just hope they'd go over old threads again as well. Back in the day the first time it came up, I made a detailed thread about the Lvl 60 WAR job gear and its Virtu counterpart and it got moved to "Duplicate". I never found that bug report it would be a duplicate of, might have been a Japanese one and I don't speak the language. However, I could imagine at that time the issue was categorized at "Hrothgal cloth scaling is weird", not "specific armor is the wrong size". It seems they are treating this more specific now, which is great. But what is going to happen to my issue? If I just open another bug for this gear piece again, it is another duplicate, a 1:1 one this time, and possibly being discarded, but if I don't, the issue for this gear piece is going to be ignored.![]()
Half bumping this because I'm still seeing sleeves that clip into the torso, gloves that are huge, and huge shoulders. Not sure why this is still an issue two years out... but whatever. It's still an issue I suppose.
How are the arm bands on their own racial gear still not fixed two years later???

If I remember the trailer had slightly smaller bands as well.
You are correct, they look totally fine in their reveal trailer.
They also look normal in their official render on the Dawntrail website.
No idea why but at some point they broke. It's not like they're just a little off in-game right now either, the arm bands are mysteriously hovering several inches away from the arms which looks ridiculous. It makes part of their own racial gear unusable. It would be nice if this could be fixed in the near future.

I really hope this issue gets resolved for Hrothgar fans! (I love them, too!)
They are, I assume, using a tool to resize the gear to fit each race and they have yet to update whatever tooling to give proper proportions for the fem hroth. Which is why new gear comes out with the same issues and need custom sizing.
Whatever it is they're using to do the fitting of gear needs updating and we will see this continue until they do.
I just thought my girl was super buff xD but im still early in ARR so I havent really seen much armor
Heretics crave the cleansing fire of absolution. They need not fear, for we shall deliver it to them. By bolter shell, flamer burst and melta blast, the mutant, the heretic and the traitor alike are cleansed of their sin of existence. So has it been for five millennia, so shall it be unto the end of time.
