There will definitely be more variety, the game is still being overhauled so nothing has been really expanded yet -- The only good implementation of a vanity/costume system is if it has restrictions in place that it won't become a costume party and just look plain silly lol. For example event items can't be used as costumes over gear for use in battles/crafting etc, but it can be used to override other event items.

Same with Mage gear, As long as you're of level you can swap mage gear models on mage gear, otherwise we'll have cobalt/reindeer/swimsuit/(insert other event costume) looking mages xD.

In the other MMOs i play that uses this system seriously (as in has actual care put into armor design and character design) you're limited in what type of customes you could wear that overrode models, the main ones that did were helmets, capes and weapon skins.
