Personally this is a big deal to me.
Some of my toons have changed costumes multiple times while other never
changed.
Some had alternate costume wildly different from the original while
others (like my inv/em tanker) only have slight differences between the
main and alt costumes, like color/pauldrons/cape design).
Even if you got your look the way you wanted, is it really "just right"
or as close to "right" as you could get with the existing options?

This I couldn't give a damn about since i'm just flat out not into pvp.
