2k1's hats is an answer to that one. Items would be valued by their appearance rather than usefulness. While this is better, it wouldn't help at all from an economic viewpoint. Although it'd be better for players because they too have the chance to be good now, people would be trading vast amounts of money for the best-looking equipment. Instead of spending all day trying to get the most powerful stuff, they would be trying to get the sexiest stuff, and would be paying idiotic amounts of moneys/other items for it just as they do now. It wouldn't help RP either because, as i already said 45454 times in this post, people would just become obsessed with getting good looking items rather than RPing. Imho
Good looking stuff promotes RP, rather than people just buying for stats and looking like clones. Gunbound is a good example of this (not RPing, but most people look exactly the same since all they want are stats).
