    Some adjustments to the gear preview

    It is nice to finally have a gear preview however there are some adjustments /additions that would be really great if they were added, as the feature itself is quite plain and lacks many basic features in its current state.

    - Allow preview via the item link command in chat.
    - Allow draw/sheath toggle even on armor previews, not just weapons. (This includes shields). It is useful to see how gear sits on your character while in active stance.
    - A toggle that shows your character running in place (this helps you see if there will be any terrible hair clipping while running).
    - A dye submenu that lets you preview dyeable gear with a specific dye.
    - The ability to preview more then one item in a window (for example, allow you to navigate to another item, right click item preview again while the original preview is up and add that item to the preview). This allows you to match up multiple items and make sure they go well together without buying them. Another way to do this would be to set it up in a similar way to the gearset window (allowing you to add/remove gear to the preview).
    - The ability to increase the size of the preview window for PC players. It is quite small on high resolutions.
    - Finally, the ability to /changepose in the preview would also be a nice little feature, although this one is probably the lowest priority.

    Agreed with your points. Just a suggestion to the above, how WoW did it was any armor/weapon that was ctrl-clicked would end up in the gear preview (multiple pieces). I dunno why SE did a half-assed attempt putting it in a sub-menu as well as making it only one item at a time.

    That would work quite well too.

    At the moment it is pretty annoying to not have the ability to view multiple pieces - and without dye.
