For the love of god, Blooming Mistshard Armor set without crystals please!

[Toasty.8925]

I wish for this so much but I know it is highly unlikely at this point. There is the standard set that doesn't have crystals but the armor detail is a clear downgrade compared to the Blooming set. It's like choosing between less armor detail or more detail with crystal tumors that over complicate the design.

I know that a lot more people would use this set if it wasn't for the crystals as its almost impossible to match it with anything that isn't already crystal themed. Such a waste imo. 

That's it for my first world rant.

The in-house devs have always been prone to over-embellishment.  At times it seems that they must get paid according to the number of extras that they can attach to an armor skin.

I agree

I love the extra detail of the plate sections of the armor. The crystals really does ruin the set. Very much how the spikes ruined Requiem on heavy armor, which would have been a pretty slick set otherwise.

Years ago they released those flame variants of basic armor skins.  I wonder if they would release less busy versions of other armor skins?  Take away a few spikes and dangly bits, and then patch up the holes. 

I would expect simplified or decluttered armor skins to sell for the same price as the originals. 
I suppose the non-gemstore armor should have a vendor and a collection for the original armor pieces.

Edit: Actually just go ahead and put decluttered versions of non-gemstore skins into the gemstore, if they are useful for mixing and matching then I will buy them.
