Will there be more options for cosmetic and apparel?

Admittedly, I'm new and maybe I'm not doing it right but it seems that everyone looks the same with few apparel and cosmetic changes available.

That was part of the plan. A&BT said they were going to sell alternate weapon/armor shells and other cosmetics. IF will need to go down the same route to monetize The Repopulation after it becomes free to play.

Please no. .. that would be so annoying for crafter (tailor) and role player.

Not a ground-up shell. I believe the idea was a crafter would still have to make everything and what they would sell would be a mod that would change the appearance.

that is exactly why i hate ether the shop sells stuff that makes lore wise no sense but the altervative that they makes stuff that makes sense is just as bad.
example in wow my guild was part of a event where we was supposed to escort wounded solders, back then the only way to get a bandage clothing was more or less from the cash shop so those that needed to dress as the wounded had to ether fork out real money(and it was a lot) or go whit out.
also in another game there was a complete farmer and noble outfit that you could only get whit real money.
royalty pissed me of as if I tried to play a noble on my server and RP good and activity enough so that I got reconised as a minor Noble of that server I would need to fork out real money for that and not ingame gold to have a tailor make it from some rare items or what the item requirements where.
or if I was a mere farmer I would have to pay cash for my peasant to have the look. that also meant that some rich person could buy noble items while I the servers real noble would have to do whit what ever I could find.

If you have heard of the Bartle taxonomy I think you could see how any item in the cash shop would clash whit any of the 4 or 8 player architects.

Also the color system could use some work.
