...so much hate for the lower leveled gear o-o; A lot of the lower level stuff is fantastic, some even better designed due to their simplicity compared to the higher stuff. Just wish there was more variation and less "ugly phases" as someone towards the beginning of the thread put it.

As for on topic...I don't really see the problem if the rules on how to glamour stayed the same (or is specifically stuff at your level and lower). People probably already use FC chests to ship Thavnarian and other level 1 stuff to their alts to wear while leveling up/rp-ing in between leveling. And you do hit phases in leveling to 50 that you get stuck with the same type of look despite changing gears for quite a few levels (or at least casters/healers did).
