People sacrifice good gear for "fashion"

[Duelle]

It's as if gear and food were designed to augment your shortcomings. You max out VIT (for example) you were probably expected to wear DEX gear and eat STR food. The normal min/max mindset, though, is if STR = damage then STR STR STR STR everything STR.

...but the game really doesn't work with that mind set. As said, you can fight the "lolbosses" of the game naked. Gear is truly not worth much other than slight boosts (which you can do yourself by reinvesting your attribute points) or aesthetics.

Why do you care what others wear or how they want to play?

I'm kind of picking up that vibe as well. Which is not a bad thing. I've had it with fugly gear with good stats and good-looking gear with terrible stats. I hated the O-hat, I hated all subligaria, and it annoyed me that they were all vastly superior to some of the pieces of gear I could stand to look at. Could we get to perform well in combat without looking like mismatched clowns for once?
