What GW2 is missing compare to GW1: Too Few Armor Set

Yes SETS, you didn't use SETS in your calculations.Guild Wars 1 has 28 SETSGuild Wars 2 has 77 SETS (on the wiki, there are more in the game)

and multiplying by multiple races when GW2 need to apply armor art to multiple races where GW1 is a single race is not bias?

And multiplying by the multiple professions when GW1 need to apply armor art to multiple professions is not bias? Mesmer Primeval and Elementalist Primeval are the SAME SET.

take for example, Primeval Armor which exists in both GW1 and GW2, he is count that as 1 for GW1 and 3 for GW2 because GW2 need to retrofit as 3 race models

You either count it as one in both games, as you said the keyword is SET. Or you count all the different varieties of it, there are 10 different varieties of Primeval armor in GW1, one for each profession, and 9 different varieties in GW2 (weight * racial)

Count sets, count varieties, count skins. Pick one and don't use filters.

you are saying that the ENTIRE warrior Prophecies armor sets should be just counted as 1 ?! great maths there

there 10 warrior armor sets alone just in that Prophecies armor group

I guess the real question is "what's a set?" Where is the "Platemail" version on a Mesmer?

Edit: want to add the 4 extra Warrior/Necromancer armors as "sets" and the 3 extra for the other 4 professions, that would bring the total to 48? Happy now? Although that does favor more specific armor types over others. Arenanet stopped doing that with the expansions as they tried to release complete sets, excluding only armor sets available to the expansion professions exclusively, like Seitung (only Assassin/Ritualist) and Elonian (only Dervish/Paragon).

This would also mean that separate weights in Guild Wars 2 would be a different set at times, or the same set at others. Mistforged Armor exists on all three weights, but Aurora armor is exclusive to Light, while Rubicon is exclusive to Medium and Armageddon exclusive to Heavy, even though I counted them as the "Temple armor" set, and so does the wiki. With the same logic as Platemail and Cabal being different "sets", Rubicon and Armageddon are different "sets" too. Not gonna do the GW2 math in that case, it's gonna be a very big number though.
