They could always add more hand and foot armor using warbands system. 3 tiers for each piece with unique looks. The devs already started with the mail mittens, basic , reinforced and lordly ( 3 tiers of the same but with changes in looks as well as stats). Another perfect example would be the Cavalier Boot sets, We have the tier 3 leather cavalier and tier 2 Mail cavalier, just need a final tier splint plate cavalier one. Apply this to a few boots and gloves and bam lore friendly variety. This also means the devs wont need to create new assets from the blue. Reuse existing ones and add stuff over it.
