.:::More Combat Less Cosmetic:::.

Not sure how that's possible unless players had access to other players armoury chests? How would anyone know what gear you had?

Anyway, that's besides the point, my point is that people still cared about aesthetics long before the glamour system was implemented.

Let's take us back to the time when glamour didn't exist. This is how it worked:
You would enter an instance with a minimal item level of say 90 for example, than examine their gear; and if they're wearing a level 1 bikini and panties, you know that they had the gear to enter the instance with, but swapped gear after entering. This is where it would be griefing. So yes it's possible and it did happen. This stopped being an issue when they implemented the glamour system.
