I just read a thread that stated that Armorsmiths should be able to wear any type of armor for the purposes of being able to see what it looks like on a character for Selling purposes.
Well, I agree with that. Not only do I think that Just Armorsmiths should be able to wear all armor, but ALL palyers should be able to wear ALL armor types.
My Idea:
All professions Keep their specific Armor Classes the same as they are right now.
All Players should be able to wear Any Type of armor, but Armor Outside of their Class would cause a Great Armor Hinderance *Spelling*
So this way people who have put all of that Time and Money into Collecting Armors like RIS and Bounty Hunter Armor, or Even Mando Armor could still Equip the armor, its just that wearing it in Combat wouldnt be anywhere as near as Effective as Sticking to their Class Specific Armor.
Im just kind of saddend that Since the CU hit, I am unable to wear a lot of the Cool looking armor that I NOW have to use for Display ONLY. Generally I never Fought in the armor any how. This way people who just enjoyed the Look of the armor could still sit around and hang out wearing that type of armor.

to me it's kind of silly that chitin is as good as comp (just going by looks, comp looks more sturdy and high tech)...personally I like the look of chitin btw
the upper body is cool....but what's with the tights? I mean c'mon! I don't need to see that much of the BH!

What I think is ridiculous is the "fix" was put into place to stop everyone from wearing comp to the exclusion of all else. But this was predicated upon the fact that (pre-cu) comp was the best armor for the masses. Fact is now (post-cu) anyone wanting assault armor opts for comp becaue it is just cooler looking than the other options. Same is true in Battle armor - you see a lot more padded than any other style. A better solution would have been to let the cores be interchangable
allowing for a greater range of options (looks)for the wearer.
