Job Cristal, either remove it or make it useful. The only way I use this “feature” is by taking it off for my “glamour only” sets to allow me to use the hot bar of, for instance, archer, to bind “RP” friendly stuff on them.

About the visual of the belt. I liked the system of The Secret World. Your glamour and your “stat” item were 2 different things. Your “stat” items were only that, invisible item you equipped which gave you stat bonuses. And aside of that you had clothes which had a visual and that you could equip for the glamour part of the game.
