They're not mindless clones unless they're all the same! But I think there's a certain kind of mindset out there that plays like this is a single-player game ("You don't pay my subscription!" lol) and is very predictable and boring. Is that necessarily bad? No, not at all, but it's definitely boring and uninspired.

Everyone has their own fashion-sense, I personally abhor anything overly saturated. My current glamour is made up 4 different sets for the 5 major slots, while maintaining a theme, all anchored by a unifying item (coat). Everything else is consistent with the design of the coat, in color and/or materials, so things look like they belong, but really don't (exception to coat/shoes which belong to same set). Weapon and accessories also follow this rule, so the end product is, to me, entirely cohesive (pushed in the direction of the Near East, thanks to the pants) without being samey, like people who dye all of their gear 1 color.

This all came about because the chest bands did not dye, and I had to work around that, it worked out pretty well imo.
