They should just add in a "Re-Styling" option at the crafting stations. Just use up the desired style material, and maybe some other crafting mats or enhancement items.

Definitely need a way to restyle gear, but a stone or other item is definitely not the way to go. We can't just leave crafters in the breeze like that and it would be incredibly bland and underused if it costs resources to restyle. It should be more like dyes, where it takes some effort to earn the ability, but then once you have it you've got it forever. So learning the motif, for instance, might be a good way to do it. Ideally, we should be able to make any piece of gear look like anything we can craft, armor type included. There's no reason to have a bunch of heavy armor users in PvP running around looking like they're in nightgowns yet not let someone have light armor boots that look like a piece of heavy armor. It's just aesthetics.

who can say no to that?

1. Seriously, learn to title your threads, especially if you're making a poll. "Now that we have mimic stones... Yes/No" makes no sense whatsoever. Would it be too hard to name the thread "Would you like the ability to change gear styles"?

2. Yes, I think that ability would be interesting. But if it ever comes to the game, it should be integrated with the crafting system and work outside the confines of the crown store. Make it useable only be max level crafters with 9 traits researched. It could work in the trade window for gear that is bound to a player who isn't good enough a crafter.

Not saying no because I dislike the idea of transforming gear. Indeed, I think it's super important and want it ASAP. But I don't want yet another crown store stone to do it. It should be like dyes, where you invest a lot of time getting there but then can do it for free forever. Whether this involves just learning the motif, or investing a certain amount of crafting stones per set piece, or what, I don't care, but the system would see way more use if it followed that model instead of having to buy a stone every time you want to switch between Glass and Trinimac or whatever.

agree

We know it's already supported (with the Imperial style morph right click option)

Having a passive option (Morph) that allows you to choose your learned styles would be nice;

Say you've mastered the Daedric Motiff,
Instead of Right Click - Morph to Imperial Style, it would be Morph, then you'd select the style from your mastered motiff list;

Not a crownstore feature please...

I voted yes, but I don't want it to be something you can only get from the crown store.
I'd also like the ability to be able to give max level styled items the appearance of say, a level 10 style.

If I want a V16 Bosmer chest piece, I'd like to be able to craft it with the same appearance as the level 1 chest piece if I choose to.
I'd love to have this kind of freedom when crafting.

ZOS has stated they want to keep crafting relevant.... this does not keep crafters relevant...

Sure, nice idea for when we have a restyling character feature. Purchase another style of gear for a bag of cold or Crowns ...

The way I'd like to see something like this implemented is that you put on the gear you like the look of dye it the colors you want . Then you'd use a scroll of costume creation and are presented with a bound personailised costume that you can use.

This would let me have a low level look whilst using V16 gear for stats. Would be great for fashionista's and I'm sure crafters could make coin selling rare looking armor peices.

No. As a crafter, I need the business from fashionistas redoing their wardrobe every season. It's something to keep the economy churning; something to strive for even if you have outfitted all your max rank alts and are now eyeing the bank mule judgmentally.

ESO is already transforming into an instant gratification theme park.

What makes you say ESO is turning into an "instant gratification theme park"!?!? Did you play this game before IC? We used to be able to craft almost unlimited items uber inexpensively; there was no scarcity at all. Now the crafting material requirement has been increased tenfold and RNG is at a cruel high.

With the amount of investment a single piece of gear requires now, we should be able to re-style it.

I crafted my first piece of VR16 medium armour yesterday. Previously I've been in full Khajiit armour but it looks a bit bulky for a Knighblade. I thought that the Soul Shriven cops looked a little less wing like than the Khajiit ones from the preview, and they look fine, but they're a mess when dyed and wont go nice and black maintaining a silvery sheen; I want to change them.
