There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't upgrade every piece of AF with AK/WP gear. "I don't like the look" is not an excuse. That's fine if you're playing solo, but when you're with a party, it's not just your time you're wasting, it's everyone's. And when they add the Vanity tab, then you can "wear" your AF all the time if you want.
I kindly disagree (at least for dungeon finder).
I think people have the right to play as they please (especially in an easy dungeon).
If you do not like their gear, simply leave.
