Only if your aesthetic wants align with their narrow restrictions.
Quote:That you can't use higher level gear as vanity while leveling is a shortcoming, but it's a common shortcoming. I came over to FFXIV from SWTOR about two months ago, and they can't deck themselves out in end-game gear while leveling, either.
In SWTOR (and most, if not all, other MMOs), you can't level multiple classes on the same character, so this is a non-existent problem. You never have an issue of, "Well, I earned this Allagan tunic in an endgame dungeon but now I randomly can't use it for vanity because I happened to switch classes."
Incidentally, in TERA you could use ANY level gear to reskin. I had three accounts in that game and had a blast decking out a plethora of roleplay alts in desired outfits through the magic of shopping on the broker for what I wanted and then visiting the re-skinning NPC. I dumped obscene amounts of gold on purchasing high level armors off the broker just to destroy them to reskin them for a level 1 roleplay alt's outfit. It also meant that I could level in awesome looking gear if I so chose. One of the few things TERA did right (though to make it even better, they should have lifted the restriction on armor type).
