If you complain about content being too forgiving, or too easy to get thru, there's a good chance you'll be met with the retort, "Take your gear off", "Don't slot champ points" etc. Well I have actually been doing just that, but only as a by product of my real goal, bypassing not having hide options for outfit slots in order to achieve a fashion style.

In short, I wanted a topless outfit, like as topless as you can get. That means no Chest, no Shoulders. Without a hide option, you have to literally not equip gear in these slots, meaning you're losing the benefits of a 6th and 7th armor piece. My StamBlade normally wears Spriggans, Leviathan, and Balorgh's, so to compensate the loss I just change the Head piece into one of my 5's, and drop the Monster Set, so even though I lost bonuses such as from wearing 6 or 7 medium armor pieces, or the Undaunted resources, and my Armor rating lowered, I still have two full five piece sets, and now my character is free from the waist up. I get my fashion choice and the game got a little harder.

Just a little something I wanted to share.
