I personally like the idea of the armor morphing to look unique for the race that's wearing them right off the bat. I remember in Guild Wars 2, it felt really disappointing not to have the cool looking 'leaf' armor for the majority of your playtime if you played a Sylvari. And as long as the male elves look just as underdressed as the female elves I don't care if it looks impractical.

I think if they just added a bunch more armor that had race limitations, it would cause a lot of frustration for players because if for example you had a lizard and dwarf party and kept getting elf armor drops you'd end up frustrated. Maybe a compromise would be to change the names for something more neutral so the 'chainmail' doesn't turn into leaves when worn by elves, etc?
