By this, I mean your character effectively equips two sets; one for in-game stats, one for appearance. And, of course, you have the option to turn off the vanity set and just wear what you have equipped "for the stats". I found this system to be extremely sweet and, when compared to World of Warcrafts "I now sacrifice this piece of gear to the mighty Etherials so that it might lend it's appearance to my end-game piece (but of course, only if it's of green quality or higher)!", would be an excellent way to implement the vanity system.
I didn't play Rift long but it was enough to appreciate their vanity system. I really hope SE doesn't make us destroy the original piece we want for vanity. It would be a shame to have to farm up three, four, five of the same piece just to have it with sets that have small variations, that is for the pieces that you CAN farm. I'd hate to destroy something unique (AF gear) only to have it with one galmour.
If they decide to go the destroy route I'll be crossing my fingers that they don't allow what went on in Aion which was transferring the skin to a low level "white" armor and selling it on the market.
