The problems I was facing many times is that:
1: If I use a cultural armor skin on an ascended armor, other character with different race cant wear it.
2: (connecting 50% to the first one) Two character with the same armor set cant have different styles, only using outfits, wich takes away the option for creativity.
Solution/sugession:
1: If an account has the cultural armor of the same type and tier unlocked in the wardrobe (f.e. Human heavy T3 & Norn heavy T3), make the armor with cultural armor skin equipable for other race, just switch the skin to the equivalent counterpart of that races cultural armor. Keeping the system corrent, applying a cultural armor skin should cost more tm charges (something around 5/armor applycation).
2: As we have build template storage, we should have custom outfit storage. We could save a complete armor set as outfit, modify if (for a price of 10 charges/piece). That would cost 60 charges to create one, modifying it 10/piece (armor type restriction and race restriction on cultural skins). Basicly everyone would get 1 slot for free and could be expanded via gem store (just like build templates). This could solve both problem, so if I have a Human in full T3 heavy, i could give the armorset to a Norn and apply its cultural as outfit. Players get options for creativity, ANet get option for one more gem store item to sell.
