While most people seem to be in agreement that the new system permits people to be more flexible in their clothing choices, I suspect that certain items will still retain their popularity. Thus we will have a chain of look alikes from time to time. Therefore, can I make a recommendation? Why not provide some flexibility in the clothing drops - particularly the hideout and construct drops. Or maybe just those special drops.
I recall playing on the QA test server almost a year ago and Loripor's jacket came in a couple of different styles for male and female. I don't believe this ever carried in to the game, but it would be a nice feature. We could have 3 styles/colors per sex for each rare drop.
Of course we would need more room in our inventories for those of us who want to collect all 3 styles of each! (grin)
