It’s not a bad idea, but unlike many other older MMOs, what people wear doesn’t really tell you a whole lot.

Back in FFXI, you could have 2 or more complete outfits that you would swap out mid fight to maximize damage/attack speed etc. so, seeing a player wearing a particular hat or pants told us a lot. Basically, mmos with horizontal progression allowed us to see gear and see what kind of build the player was going for.

Here, not so much. Even so I wouldn’t mind a super generic..like everyone wears their job AF, or as you suggested just the actual gear they are wearing.
