Problem: One of the problems with buying armor of any kind is unpredictability because you cannot see what it will look like on you before you buy it. There is the wiki but that isn't really the same since something might look good on one face/hair style/skin color but poorly on another. So you must take a chance on wasting your money and being stuck with armor you may not want if you merely want to try something on. It would be less painful if armor is not customized, but that is sadly not the case.

Solution: While Llye is used for creating different heads, he should also be able to let us play dress up at the same time! There would be another tab in his window next that lets you try on any armor in the game with any dye or dye mix. This would show how something isn't flattering before it's too late and also come up with possibilities we never considered. People usually try on clothes before they get them, why not our Guild Wars characters too? This would be more useful than ever when changing your appearance in game as well. It also will also mean Llye will live up to the [Stylist] tag next to his name. While not essential, lighting style options that mimic how armor is rendered in different lighting would be cool too, because different places have different hues and intensities of light.

Difficulities: A lot of coding may be needed for this, and it's a purely superficial change, but like any idea, I'm going to suggest it anyways since it's a problem, whether big or small, realistic or not. It is feedback and anybody who plays The Sims turns jaded with the level of customization you can perform (not that I have played The Sims recently but I remember how flexible it is).
