I feel it's also really important to remind people that we as a TEAM agreed on the design of the armor - this isn't to diminish the work put in by Jerv and Soffan as they both did an absolutely amazing job - but to single out individuals and blame/bully THEM as if it's all there fault is just flat out wrong.

The WHOLE team was in agreement on this design.

I think in the future like with Justiciar and Inferno cape, yall should host design competitions and just let the community make designs. That way there is no massive backlash and it gets the community involved in a positive way. Just my 2 cents.

I think you have a valid point, coming to the player base with a single design of BiS armour/weapon is bound to split people as art is very subjective. I found the process for designing the twisted bow quite slow and tedious (I basically ran straw polls on options until we found a silhouette the majority liked) , but it may be the better route when creating prestigious items. Something to consider when we approach this next time :)
