]Suggestion] One thing that would be awesome for Roleplayers.

Note, I don't claim to speak for the entire RP community on GW2, but as a roleplayer I believe this is something many, if not all, would want.

The roleplaying community in many MMOs is often among the most loyal and solid of a game. They'll keep playing even when current progress content is stale, don't often care about balance etc unless they play other modes as well, and are often extremely creative in their use of the zones, lore , character creation and customisation. True, there's a section of the RP community that has a bad rep and gives the rest of us said bad rep, but that's not all of us.

Back during Beta, a lot of RPers asked for a toggle-walk ability rather than hold-to-walk and this was added, so thank you for this A-Net! We get that sittable chairs just won't happen with the engine as it is and that's fine..

But one thing changed from beta/launch that cause a little bit of an issue for us, and that was the change from town clothes to outfits and tonics. To add to this, many of the beloved dyeable townclothes, especially the common clothes that were different per race, were made into an undyeable tonic.

Add to this that we see NPCs wandering on beautiful town clothes that we'd all love to own and dye and wear.

Would it be possible to do either of the following?

1) Change the current clothes tonics into outfits. I'd be happy paying some gems to have these outfits dyeable again.2) Give us some more casual clothes outfits? The models are in the database already as can be seen on various NPCs, from those wandering the main cities to some in Amnoon and Maguuma locations, the clothes are amazing and would be awesome to play with in terms of dyes.

Yours in RP and hope,

I totally second this. I've been RP'ing in GW2 for over 3 years and it's been the best roleplaying experience of my life. A few, basic features for roleplayers would go a long way to make it an even more awesome experience.

I admire your determination in attempting to RP in a game with no immersion...

I think far too often the armor/outfits are too fancy, too much detail, so would enjoy more basic options.

Best immersion is just watching a good RP group doing their stuff. It's like "insta-Tyria" experience for me.

Hmm, what immersion is needed? I have encountered active RP scenes whether it was here, second life, or pretty much any game. It all depends on your imagination really.

It is like being a writer. You can make anything immersive in modern, feudal, steampunk, any world with a slight twist.

:+1:I will always upvote tonic-to-outfit conversion.

Convert tonics to outfits

Convert NPC clothes to outfits

Copy all armor (wardrobe) appearances to all other armor classes.

Didn't they use to have town clothes?

I find their antics more immersion breaking then supporting. People don't talk like that normally....

When you're game's interaction system exists as a meta-concept, the very trying to RP comes off as artificial.... just like both times you got to see a Stage play run by Vabbian Actors.
