			is it just me, or do the designs of these shoulder pads just.... well.... SUCK! I'd like to see Crabine go back to the drawing board on these things and create something a little bit more epic then what were being given/sold/dropped to.

			I think most of the gear models are extremely bland for all gear types. Aside from a few chest pieces, I can't say I've seen any gear that's made me go "oooooooooh I want that".

			I hear ya.... Carbine, just do us all Wildster Gamers a favor please, assuming the Devs hear us... go back to the drawing board on all pieces and gear and draw us up something more "EPIC" that we can, and WANT TO, really sink our teeth into. This gear just doesnt do it. Sorry. lol

			Not a fan of most of the medium armor designs.  The only things I like about medium armor designs are the "duster" like armors.  Not a fan of the majority of the shoulders and they tend to clip the other armor pieces.

I like a lot of the armor in this game.  If anything, I thought the heavy armor was bland, so I costumed in some light armor.
 
 
Seeger looking awesome!

I've seen a few designs I like enough to display, despite having a pretty severe case of EPIC SHOULDERPAD BURNOUT from playing WoW for years.  Mind you, having been in that environment for years I can also see how the absence of those giant pauldrons might be seen by other players as a vacuum that needs filling.
 
Maybe they're giving themselves room to grow?

I'm fine with them adding any type of armor to the game. More options are better as far as I'm concerned.
 
However, as far as shoulders are concerned...PLEASE don't equate "epic" with "gigantic".

			There are a number of armor models I quite like in this game, though... I think I overdosed on shoulders in WoW and haven't been able bring myself to like them much at all anymore in any MMO I've played since. It does kind of feel like there aren't that many armor models in general as we level up, though. I feel like I've been seeing the same 3 armor models for the past 33 levels on my warrior. :/

I haven't seen a SINGLE shoulder armor design I liked.  I'm really glad you can turn them off.  It's a spectacular relief after certain.... other games.
 
Really, WoW has poisoned the MMO art scene.  Shoulders can be used as accents, or alter the profile of an armor set, and generally be cool if they aren't overdone.  Which they always are these days.  That heavy set above is an example of it done well; I've also seen a few light armor ones that low-key with cool high-tech looking textures on them, but have been put off by how everything floats 6 inches above my shoulder (cassian female, fwiw).  While I haven't seen anythign with WoW levels of fail, it's still dissapointing that they've gotten on the "bigger=epiccer" wagon.
 
The one redeeming thing I've seen is that they're willing to experiment with asymmetrical designs.  Now, if they can pull off something clever that doesn't look like having a 2nd head for a change, we'll be in business.
