Up until this patch; the Medium (and heavy) fanged lair belt could be used to "hide" knee pads....as show below:

and now (different colors but same outfit)....the knee pads on the boot now shows....

This gave us a nice customization of our boots...one that is asked here almost as frequently as hiding shoulderpads, crotch flaps and hip guards...and already existed in game only to be "fixed"...uh why????
I am guessing it was probably a defect....but...was it a harmful one? It was a cosmetically useful and provided no combat advantages...
