I think it would be a fun idea to have monsters who wear armor to drop these armor pieces for player use. That way, you could collect a full set of armor from a foe, and look just like them! However, I think you should only be able to wear monster armor that would fit your character (i.e. Asura would be too small to wear a humanoid monster's armor). Once you assembled a full set, you should get a buff that disguises you to the outside world (i.e. the monsters whose armor you're wearing will be friendly to you, and anyone who they are enemies with, will attack you). This could open up a lot of possibilities, not only for extra monster towns and hideouts, but also for disguises during quests and for passing through enemy territory undisturbed. As for the level of armor (point rating), it should be based on the level of the monster that you killed, or on whatever criteria.

Why this is a good idea
  •  Fun, innovative idea.
  •  I always wanted to dress up like a Mursaat.
  •  Cause monsters look cooler. (except if you are a Charr)
  •  Easier to get armor GW armor costs to much for elite and be nice to look differen't from other people for a change.
  •  Would be An awsome thing if an armor from a Foe of the same race can be picked up repaired/modded and used!
Why it may not work out
  •  Too much collecting of armor pieces?
  •  You would have to carry around several different sets of armor if you wanted to be able to be in disguise at any time. (but thats based on player discretion)
  •  Armor drops are just too Maple Story like... GW armor system is MUCH better!
  •  Monsters get useless, because you can run past.
  •  Would make people Farm the same Foe for the bits of Amor to make the full set
  •  Add bots with same build to farm an Foe with A rare armor drop for selling.
  •  What real person would like to wear armor from dead people (doesn't make sense for picky races or possibly girls)
