I could live with that if it did what it's supposed to...I mean if i layer multiple sets of wicker on myself i should kind of resemble a walking basket and stand out some
should just be trade offs...
if i want to be fast, quiet and present a minimalist profile...loin cloth, moccassins and my trusty hat.
if i'm going into a fight, my opponent knows i'm coming (or i don't care if he finds out), i should be able to armor up and significantly increase my surviveability at the expense of speed, noise and of course stealth.
currently there does not exist such a trade off.
Again, this is bad for the pvp crowd AND the crafting crowd.
