So, if I get a piece of gear, and use it maybe twice to enter a higher level of content, get a better replacement, I have to use this old piece because you were salty about some Crystal Tower drops?

Come on. This is a really bad suggestion. As if my armory chest isn't filled up enough with all the crafting gear and glamours already, you want me to have to wear gear 200 ilvls below what I usually wear in case I change my mind?
