Quick armor changes (Discussion)

Like the weapon change buttons (F1-F4), armor sets should be added to speed buttons.

Why this is a good idea

•  Doesn't waste any time on armor changes.
•  Helps in PvP, or if you need to change armor during battle.

Why it may not work out

•  Space constraints. Storage on a character should be increase in that case.
• same issue as mentioned in a previous topic about dual-weilding shields: May lead to people quickly swapping armor to receive the additional defense bonus in an unintended way. Maybe just allowing it in towns or something so it doesn't effect fighting?
