ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Battle Scars

Battle Scars (Discussion)
Make it so that characters exhibit visual effects from being in battle. Bruises, scarred wounds, battered, bloodied and dirty armor are some examples.

Some variations of this suggestion involve:
 * Making these visual effects temporary, or optional
 * Making them look worse depending on the number of deaths that the player has accumulated
 * Introducing a healer NPC to remove scars and bruises (if they are permanent or have a long duration)
 * Allowing healing skills to visually remove any bruising or scars obtained


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Adds realism by making the strifes of war more obvious upon characters
 * Fighting can become more intense as you can visually see yourself becoming injured


 * Why it may not work out
 * Players will be reluctant to fight, in worrying that their character might become ugly
 * ^read first^ it says optional, so nobody get's ugly if they don't want to.
 * More work for ArenaNet on something meager
 * Blood and dirt means cleaning, costly cleaning. And also, characters like mine would bascially be 1 giant scar. Or make it at least able to be toggled in the Options menu.
