Then, I can always use its graphic, and even when I start a brand-spanking new Gladiator, he can also use the Mithril Longsword's visual -- he just wouldn't have the item itself.
In short, something like DCUO's outfit system, just that it can be accessed account/character wide. Honestly like the sound of that seeing it's a pita for some styles, especially with the different market prices per server.
