Different people like different things, so they best way to keep everyone content is to have enough variety that whatever someone's tastes may be, there's something that fits.
But only if they pay for it. Don't expect to see new armor skins in the game without them being obtained through the gem store or excessive farming. On a limited time offer.
I would like it removed from the game. All ascend pieces plain and simple - gone.
That said - dont care and will probably quit the game when I start getting gibbed more in WvW because of the desparity in exotic.
But dont worry I bet gold that the plain skins will be given via a new special currency and awesome new skins will be hidden behind rng blchests to make more money.
A few will be doled out to buy outright for 800 gems but they really wont be spectacular like the rng slot chests are.
I have become jaded by their cash shop and reliance on gambling for money. I feel the monetization schemes have been very poor and not lived up one bit to what was said pre launch.

Now getting armor based off of the Human Gods would actually make me want to run god temples! And for Kormir armor you could run Fractals. Oh this is a good idea indeed.
No, absolutely not! What about all us Kormir haters? I hated Kormir so much my loathe for Trahearne doesn't even come remotely close! I hate her so much I refuse to unlock the 'Prayer to Kormir' on any of my human characters. I don't care if they made that skill so OP it would make Shadow Form look balanced, I wouldn't unlock that skill out of principle. That's how much I hate Kormir. To sum it up:
Now, on a more serious note:
I'd like what's been said a couple of times here before: I want heavy female armor that isn't either a metal bikini with spikes or a only halfway decent looking piece of armor while all the male versions look incredible... I want some elegant Heavy armor damnit! I already have truly amazing armor combo's for my light and medium classes, but I just can't find anything that looks really 'wow' to me in terms of heavy armor, which is sad...
I would like for them to be more of a challenge to get (preferably in some way involving fractals, because you know.. That'd make sense for once... Or at least have a purely Fractals equivalent). Right now, the dailies/monthlies grind is just tedious. It's retarded, I hate that getting the gear I want feel like a chore rather than a challenge and actual effort.
And for those who say 'no! No more stuff that needs Fractals, cause I don't like Fractals, although ascended gear originating from it makes incredibly sense!', I'm fine with them giving you an alternative that involves dumb grinds like dailies, but they should at least give an alternative that involves fractals in one way or another. The gear is directly related to it (AR), and excluding it from the format is annoying to say the least. In fact, I feel they've neglected Fractals far too much already and the little updates they did, they tried to make us happy with a dead sparrow...
I would rather ascended armor not exist and just give us more skins, but umm... heavy armor is lacking. It's either boring full plate armor or some ridiculously skimpy outfit that shouldn't be called armor. Something in between.
And stop it with the buttcapes. Give us a real cape or get out.
NO MORE BUTTCAPES! Sick and tired of 95% of the armor being tents stapled to your ass. More short/mid length skirts without full leggings under them, shorts, tops that aren't trench coats for medium, bottoms that aren't buttcapes for light & heavy, though heavy suffers from this less. Put the tribal outfit that alastia crow wears and is in the pvp locker erroneously named Masquerade into the damn game for players already, same with the gear you can only get in story mode and fix the vendors that don't have full sets in the area (brisbane wildlands).

THAT is what I want.
I can't possibly make it any clearer, need we say more?

Well yeah, in these free content patches we tend to get gem store costumes. I'm not terribly surprised by that, its what typically happened in GW1 in the last few years. Its pretty rare that any MMO hands out extensive new armor art without it being tied to expansion-level content.
