The problem is the icons for gear all looks the same, while the real models look way different. No way to preview models without owning the gear doesn't help. The Showoff your Rogue thread is/would be a good place to showcase different gear. Hood of the Succubi, random green, head icon looked the same, model way way…
Some armor is very different then the average brown gear that is everywhere lvl 57 hellfire random blue chest from turning in tokens in Mount Hotenow Was silver/silver used a red dye.
On the plus side I didn't spend any real cash money to feel like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsqUZkmO-zk Sooo founders how is that "advanced in que" working?
