I think they should use it in the mod, but then also make the scout armor better-fitting The problem the staff see is that this armour couldn't be afforded by your regular soldier, and the mod aims for realism. Exactly what I think. This redesigned Wood-Elven armour looks great, but even the Elvenking wouldn't have the money to equip all his soldiers with expensive gold armour. Armour this expensive could conceivably have been used by the guards of the King or some other elite soldiers. But then again, only a handful of soldiers in the entire Woodland Realm would've had the honour to wear it.

However, just from looking at the picture provided, and comparing it to other armors, it actually looks more bronze than gold, similar to the chestplate below. Of course this isn't pure bronze, it's steel with a bronze finish. That sort of thing would be far more practical for wood elves to obtain and use than gold for armor. Just my two cents on the matter.
