And unemotional look at the new cosmetic system.

theres no way of making everyone happy with customization

On the contrary. You can make everyone happy with customization. But what has been implemented is not customization, it is skinning.

Allowing players to fully customize the look of their armor, from colors to material, would make everyone happy.

Well.... It was fun spending half an hour switching outfits on different armor. Ahhhh... The perfect day! A little window shopping, then Kick some serious booty.

I say thumbs up to what HAS been accomplished. Look forward to see what's coming. It definitely should let you be able to ID which outfit you just put on. After buying the 9 available, and trying a few, I couldn't remember which one I liked. While I was looking at it! poof!!! gone. was it leaf, or royal?

Well said, one can't go wrong with customization since you get to choose, whereas for skins you have to pick like or not like.
There's even theory on these things, supermarkets do that all the time to avoid allowing people to choose 'not like'.

I agree with the OP that the new cosmetic kits fail to achieve most of the goals he read out of the thread quoted.

However it´s a system that will be expanded and a simple way to expand it will be to offer the looks from randomly generated armor as a kit or parts of a kit, so I expect this to get better in the future aka soon(tm).

The new sameness that will haunt us in the next months scares me a bit but I endured four years so few more months will be a walk in the park :P
