So here's MY opinion on it, since we are all complaining or coming up with wild ideas, here's my take...
You'll be able to go to the station and change your wearable armor to any KNOWN style. (So you have to be a high rank to even learn the rare motifs).
This doesn't sound like something that crafters will be able to do as a service for folks, rather it sounds like its an incentive for players to approach crafting if they haven't already.
Most importantly, it will allow you to wear a certain set and maintain a certain look. For instance, I don't care for the look of Toothrow, Shadow of the Red Mountain, Warrior Poet, War Maiden, Defiler, the list goes on...but I COULD now wear those sets without looking like a homeless bum walking around Windhelm.
It's also nice because the costumes generally suck too and I personally don't like being confined to a set look.
I like this idea and I think it's going to enhance many characters look and allow them to wear various sets they may not want to because they look like garbage wrapped in vomit rags.
If you don't care what you look like, eh maybe now you will or maybe you will still not care. Now you can create a build that doesn't look like a stupid mash of styles.
Want to wear toothrow with red mountain and hate how those two sets look together? more importantly, do you want to wear those two sets and look like a heavy xivkyn warrior?
Perfect. Now you can. I'm all for it.
Ultimately, lets see what happens on the PTS. Till then, lets try to keep the end of crafting and panic button slamming to a minimum.
