The best Shoulder motif or Style in the game is Honor Guard. They are OFF the shoulder, flat, unobtrusive, and the ONLY shoulder style I wear when I want to HIDE MY SHOULDERS. (EQ2 had a piece for each body part that hid the armor item worn. "Imperceptible Beauty")

Having the ability to hide pieces of armor gives depth to the game, an emersion, that not everyone runs around with monstrous pauldrons on their 'farmer'. A farmer still needs to do battle however, with wolves and trolls. So they cannot just not wear armor beneath their style.
I am not a role-player, though I respect those who enjoy the game of it.
I did not, however, play WoW for a reason. It was the MONSTROUS ARMOR that cannot possibly be carried on your person without a wheelbarrow!
