Matching Set Bonus's

[Duelle]

I like it when everyone looks different. It becomes even better when people go out of their way to always have a certain look. I have recently been doing a thing where I am always wearing spectacles. Why? Because that's my character now, deal with it.

I would almost BEG SE not to have gear sets simply for the fact that everyone will end up looking exactly the same all of the time.

Appearance tabs swiftly deal with the above mentioned problem. It's not like we can only have one or the other.

There is a problem when it comes to end-game stuff though. People looking for members with that 'matching' gear aren't gonna bother checking each person one by one to see if they're just wearing it for vanity. They see that person wearing mis-matched clothing, NAH, screw you, next in line please, when in fact, that very person may be having an all-gear set bonus attached with strings and clams, but merely liked his appearance. Justifiably, it could work the other way around, in that if you really wanted to do end-game content, then LOOK like you are, but since you've already equipped as such, why hinder your own experience when it really doesn't affect others, because you still act as you were meant to?

I'm not saying that would be the case, but judging about how impatient parts of this community is when it comes to end-game content ("YOU NO KNOW HAMLET, MWAHAHA, FUNNY, NOW GET OUT" kind of attitude), it's very likely people aren't going to look past how you look like and see whether you have put the effort into doing so. That's the first issue that popped into my mind when I thought of set-bonuses and vanity slots being implemented with one another.
