Thanks for the response Claire

I would like to add that the way item remodelling works is that you can only take the skin from the same type of gear ex: robe ---> robe, plate ---> plate. Therefore it would be impossible to have a mage running around in plate armor since you can only use a skin for something that the class would normally be able to wear in the 1st place. It adds immersion since it avoids everyone running around in the same gear.

Also it has a level requirement, so you can't have a level 10 running around with a level 50+ model.

How many times does a patch come out in a mmo and makes older gear and it's associated content useless? with this feature nothing becomes obselete since you can still go after the gear for it's skin to customize your apperence. This makes you do content that you normally would not bother to do.
