What is going on with the speedskater outfit?

[Sir Longsword]

<p>Why oh why does plate armor look like a speedskaters outfit?  Is this some sick joke?  My Templar used the cobalt in T6 and I was shocked, then when I put on the xego i was very sad to see it used the same graphics, just a little more teal in color.<img src="/smilies/2e207fad049d4d292f60607f80f05768.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />    I understand leather is form fitting but plate metal does not hug the body like that without some SERIOUS chaffing ! </p><p> I'm going to hurry and get outta this crap as soon as I can.  I realize it's to late to help me, but you have to fix this for the next generation.  It's just BAD.</p>

yah, the t7 plate armor is horrid...  The only two sets I've seen that looked good (crafted) are the base chain set (a nice red color) and the Vanguard Plate (a bluish silver).  I made a set of the xegonite plate for a templar in my guild and nearly cried it looked so bad <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I'm very disappointed in the look of all the T7 crafted armor. Its as if they said: "By this point everyone will be wearing raid gear so let's just make it boring and ugly".  Some of T6 was ok to look at, T5 wasn't bad for some classes. Chayna wears Woven Dragonhide which is brown.
