the usual lazy excuses why outfits can't be converted to Armour: "They weren't designed to be used with other armour so there would be clipping!":there are plenty of awesome pieces of armour already in the game that clip if used poorly, but looks amazing when used well. "They were designed as a one piece set so they would have awkward cut off points between chest and legs!":there are plenty of armours already in the game with weird cut of points designed to be used as a set, all can be used extremely well. "but we want to keep the theme of the different weight classes!":Ironclad Outfit already lets my ele look like a warrior, Witch Outfit already lets my warrior look like an ele. "They can't be broken apart!"not true, before the wardrobe update all outfits were split into parts.for example Mad King's Outfit was made up of Mad King's Boots, Mad King's Coat, Mad King's Gloves etc,all separate parts had their own icons just like armour does. CONCLUSIONAllowing outfits to be purchased as both Outfits and Armour would be a colossal treasure trove of cash for Anet, they'd make soooo much money.and it would be a huge boon to the extremely lacking armour choices for players.win win.
