The latest in an endless stream of proposals that allows players to get the best clothing (or in some cases customize clothing) without going to a tailor.

Jesus! its only a discussion thread. Its a brainstorming session where peoples opinions are put and the idea refined. Its not this is what we are getting and we dont care what you think, its ok here the brainstorm, now how should we refine it.
I asked for opinions and got them and discussed them, as have alot of people. We dont want to be tailors, your the tailors and almost everyone including myself finds the idea of you crafting this apealing and preferable now its been discussed. But you wouldnt know that would you? you've already cast it on the junk pile for being to raw for a raw idea.
Sorry but brainstorming raw ideas is exactly that, ideas that WILL change and ideas that need other people's input to solve.

yeah and i apreciate that hehe
Its just that when somone keeps saying the tailors wont be able to craft the most desirable items when the idea has already been redirected towards letting the tailors craft it with our full suport.

That's fine Owen, you posted a really good idea, I pointed out what I feel was a very major problem with it, you defended your idea, I defended my stance as well. That's where we're at. No harsh language, no insults, just discussion.
From the tailor point of view though, the worries start when a correspondent says that he will post this ideatothe devswhich involves NPC's dispensing more desirable clothing then a master tailor can craft. I certainly think this is something that will interest all tailors.

K mate.
From one of your posts it just seemed like you were taking offence at the discussion thread whilst the ideas were evolving.

I'm watching the back room like a hawk! None shall pass! (Err at least no proposal about clothing will get by without me advocating the tailoring community position on it).

heres an idea.......
1) A permantschematic of all Jakra Lan Clothing go into the Tailor skill Tree.
2)This is a no fail combine, it does not require any wierd resources like Rori vegtable fungis or something equally stupid.
3) What is DOES require is a special Leather Planing Tool component!
4) This component is crafted from a schematic made by rangers in thier crafting kits, which THEY get from thier quest.
Ranger: O wise tailor, I know nothing of crafting clothing as I spend all my time hiding in the wilderness, but I need a specialized outfit to enhance my wilderness performance.
Tailor in a hooded robe : O great ranger only by honing your skills and proving yourself to the elite of your circle will you then aquire sucha thing. For items as those require the leather to be treated in a certain way, and only the most knowledgeable know how to make the treatment.
Ranger: Behold! for I have proven myself! (( gives over the item ))
Tailor : ahh yes (( crafts item )) Behold your new improved clothing!
Ranger: Can you make it in blue?.........
Tailor : ....

oh I know you will! That's why I brought it up here. But I'm done arguing with them, they just don't "get it". You made the point very clearly about limited use schematics, and the tailor viewon that, but they insist that so long as there is a tailor obstacle in their way of their uberloot that all things are right in tailor-ville as far as introducing new clothing into the game.
/sigh
Wouldn't *that* be a kick in the pants if they finally introduce the hooded cloak and it's implemented as a 1-use schematic as uber l33t loot for the gun bunnies? UGH!
Seems like we fight this battle more and more these days. I don't recall any such discussions until the last few months or so. I wonder why?

In fact, I was thinking, what if OUR new racial or profession specific clothing also came in the form of a quest?
