The cape size on asura

[Rosen.9387]

What's up with that tiny capes on asura?
For example, Abyss Stalker Cape looks good and decent on human. On asura you have a tiny piece of cloak which looks like a sock attached to your back.
Most of the capes have this issue.

Probably the same reason capes float a foot above the backs of Charr; they're rigged and positioned so as to minimize clipping with the player model and with other armor that's being worn, sometimes to the detriment of the cape. When people first requested capes in GW2, the devs warned us 'I mean, we can do it but it'd probably look dumb, guys' and when the requests kept coming in, they shrugged and implemented them.

 

As expected, they largely look dumb.
