tbh why hide them at all - given you can armory people thesedays on your 2nd screen or windowd browser.

If I had to guess - and it's a complete guess - then I'd say it's for the same reason they don't like players being able to disguise themselves in PvP scenarios. Not being a PvPer I've never paid it much attention, but I do recall people complaining about opponents appearing while under the influence of Orbs of Illusion or Noggenfogger's Elixir.

How this squares with druid forms I have no idea.

I suppose, broadly speaking, they just want your gear to look like the actual gear you're wearing.

In LOTRO the cosmetic system is turned off in the PVP zones, so they could easily do that.

Same for WAR, the opposing realm can't see your cosmetic appearance.

The US forums are now hideous. But still better than Codies.

That is all.

Mucking about with this at the moment, its pretty cool.  Doesnt work for an FC in that i cant see anyone else, but I can at least roam and such and make a note to myself of how busy places were and easily check on who kills in that system by using the rest of Dotlans functionality

However, there is a popular idea that the art guys are against it, as people would blantantly farm Tier2 as it had the best looks in the game, therefore not showing on their later more gaga-esque creations.

I must admit, I'm quite partial to the tier 5 and 6 druid and warlock sets.

It is true that the cloak rewards had overcloak functionality when these events were up on the public test realms some months back. In the end we decided that implementing the cloaks in such a way that players could aesthetically change the cloak they're wearing could set a bad precedent. We like customization and flavor items, but we don't want to start implementing aesthetic items in the game which allow players to look however they want while keeping all the stats they want. We felt the overcloaks were breaking that barrier a little too much.
