No Change armour appearance anymore ?

I did a search on this but only found old posts that were no longer relevant or they were to do with character change of appearance.

I wanted to ask about Armour change of appearance. I did it in Beta. Take one piece of Armour, select change appearance, drag the desired looking piece of armour into the right hand slot and your armout had the appearance of the armour in the right hand slot but with the Stats of the armour in the left had slot. This is no longer working for me. I can change the colour of the armour with the Dye kit of course but I can no longer 're-skin' my lastest armour with my previous armours look.

Was this option only available in Beta?, is it just a temporary matter which will be re-instated at some point or am I simply missing someting/doing something wrong? If I drag an old armour into the right hand slot should it not 're-skin' my latest higher stat armour that I have placed into the left hand slot.

I have a very nice cape as a thankyou after the exploit matter but it has no Stats, this is ok if I could 'change appearance' / re-skin my existing CApe to look like that one that the folks at Perfect World have provided me with.

Thankyou for your replies and advice

My Best Regards.
