    Default Only 4 random monk outfits now?

    Low priority. Only an aesthetic issue, but still... There use to be more variety in randomly generated outfits. Now the padding is specific to only one skin. Tiger fur padding only comes with the white yellow skin, spiney neck frill and belt padding only comes with the dark grey and yellow skin, beads around the neck and wrists only comes with the orange skin, and padded chest only comes in bluish grey padding (some of my colors may be a little off). The fang/tribal skin, the white-orange and the blue-black-white skins now get no chance to come with a padding at all. I have an old toon in Cannith with a cool old tiger fur padded fang skin outfit and now that I'm on Sarlona I can't even make a glamer of it. I know this is a small issue but I like my monks to fight in style. I'd like to see outfits drop more randomized again (to some extent like armor skin/plating combos) or see some customization option.

    This is not the monk nerf you are looking for...

    I can sympathize a bit here. While I found a lot of diversity from the old armor appearance kits, the number of Cosmetic Armor kits seem a bit more limited or, as you infer, just not monastic enough. A good example are the Cannith outfits that have that butt-ugly shoulder epaulet thingie.

    I've tended to put the ninjas in the Ninja Outfit (why the Spider-Spun Caparison was so popular) or one with the Talisman look (very samurai/ninja), often with a Ninja Mask.

    The Shintaos tend to be wearing whatever doesn't suck. Often I don't like the default outfits. Recent changes to the new pajamas without frills but with lots of colors aren't bad but are too generic in some ways.

    I'd love to tell Turbine to shut up, make more Monk outfits and take our money. Then, if making the outfits takes away from creating and maintaining game content, I'd side with the outfits we have.
