It doesn't say anything about gear. I think it would be a good change, it sucks when you get new gear with better stats and you have to give up the gear your wearing even though you like the way it looks. Dunno maybe not that important to some people, but I bet there is alot of people that feel this way.

I get that when you start off you gear looks crappy and it gets better looking as you level, but I think there should be a unlock at a certain level, that you get to choose what your armor/weapons APPERANCE looks like without having to actually use the items.
