As crafting moved into the realm of glamour I thought we would be making some really unique combat sets and dungeon/raid gear would start to become more plain or see repeated designs. Wouldn't that make more sense?

What if dungeon/raid gear was always acquired in a rundown state. The stats would be the same, but the colors would be dull, cloth torn, and metals damaged or missing pieces. Crafters could make the cosmetic version of that gear, sort of like parade armor. It would not have any stats of the raid gear, but would be without any of defects found in the dropped version.
