Visual Effects on Elite Armors (Discussion)

While cruising through the Armor Gallery I noticed that the elite of the elite armors, the Obsidian Armor looks very plain, considering whats needed to actually craft them. Now, in Guild Wars we can have moving textures/effects on things, is it really that hard to put a little bit of extra work into them to make them look outer-worldly? Something like ghostly images appearing on the armor, like a face or a hand reaching or something cool, its from the FoW so you'd think it would be somewhat related.

Why this is a good idea

•  It would add a level of detail to the armor and make it truly stand out. After all the elite armors (in Guild Wars and maybe Guild Wars 2) are purely a visual thing, this would make it sound out far above the other more worldly elite sets.
•  Well this could be linked to the player-designed armor. You can choose wether too add the option of have effects on your elite armor.

Why it may not work out

•  Technical limitations and workload.
