Xivkyn gauntlets: mesh needs fixing

Dear ZOS, today I bought the Xivkyn motif from the crown store, but when I crafted the gauntlets I noticed that the blades on the sides are floating. I think the issue is due to some bad skinning rather than a bad mesh:Screenshot_20151129_121250_zpsq9fsepbt.png

Please fix it.
Cheers

    I believe that is intended, even in this concept image you can see the blades are floating -

    That looks odd though, especially because those on the boots are not floating. Moreover, I have found the original model of the armor, and the blades were not floating: eso-imperial-daedric-armor-heavy.jpg

    Doesn't look like that on the light armor version of it.

    True, and also the medium version looks fine.

    There is some degree of floating on the light pieces.

    However it is far less noticeable with a light chest on, definitely not as bad as Xivkyn heavy.

    This is just another example of ZOS's complete inability to design armor properly. Prime example is the floating "hip guards" and shoulders on almost everything and that we've been making fun of since launch. Seriously, if you can't get it right ZOS don't put it on there. It just looks stupid.

    Well, I really hope they fix it. Alternatively they should give a refund to those people who are unhappy with the product.
    5000 crowns is quite a hefty price for a single motif (you could buy a whole game with that money), and I was quite disappointed when I saw those gauntlets. Moreover, even the ad of the armor in the crown store doesn't show floating gauntlet blades (see below), a classic example of false advertising (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_advertising
