Costume creation - we must have this for motif hunters and crafters...

Rittings

So, anyone else tired of seeing everyone in Burning Spellweave, Two Fanged Snake, Scathing Mage etc???

The game is showing little depth when everyone either has the same gear on, or the same generic costumes from the Crown Store. How about you throw motif hunters, like myself, a bone... Not only that, you could start to sell items of clothing in the store - or utilize those ones we find around town

Here is my idea... each person can save up to 4 custom costumes. Basically, at any dye station, give an option to store your CURRENT look as a costume (much like you can save up to four dye combos). This would make motifs so much more worthwhile - and crafting would once again be useful too!! Not only that, we could finally be rid of seeing all those Grothdar shoulders and those crazy Iceheart shoulder pieces too (which are basically the ruination of my overall look on my toons).

Not only that, it means we could also start to be on the look out for all those cool pieces of clothing that we find in dressers etc - and finally start putting together some unique looks!!

Been discussed a million times over in a million different ways. So many options have been given to them, some free and some we would pay for, yet all of them have been denied thus far.

Would be nice, but they don't like customization in this game, which is weird considering it's supposed to be an Elder Scrolls game....

Edit

I have also offered a very similar system to the one you have way back in another thread.... ZOS is simply uinterested in giving us things we want and ask for, while forcing things on us no one wanted or asked for.

They could actually sell individual clothing pieces in the crown store too - meaning more customization for the players and more money in the ZoS coffers...

No I agree completely. There are several ways they could make a ton of money off some sort of wardrobe/costume system, but as of right now they've shown no interest in giving us anyway to look the way we want while keeping BiS item stats.

A lot of players like myself would gladly pay crowns for a custom costume slot. Many slots in fact since one of my most enjoyable things about this game is coming up with new looks from the different styles available. Just sucks that most of them I have to lose stats to keep a desired look.

Nah.

...because we all know how this would turn out. With naked nords and barefoot bretons swaggering around battlefiends while still enjoying heavy armor protection!

I'd much rather see a transmogrification system like the "Transmog Stones" idea discussed there: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/340849/two-ideas-how-to-introduce-any-gear-in-any-style-functionality-into-eso-transmog/p1
That way motiv-heavy crafters could churn out transmog stones for -everyone- to change their gear looks to whatever style they find most, uh, stylish for their characters. While non crafters could go farming that rare resource to make transmog stones. And ZOS could also sell it in crown stores for more profit.
Thus crafting boosted, farming boosted, trade boosted, style boosted, profit boosted... everyone wins!

Just disable cosmetics in PVP like LOTRO does.

Since it makes no sense to not implement a similar system, I can only assume:

1) It's under development, or

2) It's too technically demanding to them

I'm leaning towards 2) seeing how they screwed up important features like group finder.
