Crafting: lower-level looks with high-level materials?

I came across a discussion regarding patch notes where @Matuzes listed several changes they'd like to see, and the following caught my eye:

"Crafting: We separate item appearance from crafting material. You can craft "low level" visual item with high level material. This should add even more diversity of player appearance."

In my opinion this would be interesting, as it would greatly add to the diversity of armor/clothing among players and would add another level of choice. For example, I like the look of Imperial Full-Leather armor, but despise those wings on the helmet. With this option, I would keep the previous helmet style without losing armor rating.
What do you think about this option?

    As long as you can only go lower, not higher. If you have a high level crafting, you can make lower level visuals. However you cannot use the look of a higher level armor you have not earned yet.

    Yes. I hate most of the high level armor designs and miss my level 15-25 armor look. They should allow some sort of morphing in the crafting options IMO.

    I agree it sucks when I got to vet and hated the new shoulder look. Having option to make the older style in vet lvl be cool. also hood options for heavy helms like shirt vs robe.

    I have always said that it was a good idea, I am currently levelling up a Nightblade in Orcish Iron Armour (atmoran bronze dye btw), and it looks very nice, much better than the Steel Orcish Armour.

    Eventually I will have to move onto Steel (it costs too much iron to forge higher and higher level armour, and I can't be hunting down Iron all the time), I will be a touch sad on that day.

    They will have to do some sort of appearance slot/glamor/transmog/whatever you want to call it option at some point. It's a feature that is becoming more and more expected in MMO's.

    I wear the Quendeluun Veiled Heritance disguise mainly because it's cool but also because it hides some of the less fortunate fashion choices that some armours force on you.
