New Idea: Wardrobe

I think that another NPC should be added to each major city, near the banks or battlemasters called the Wardrobe or something similar. It would allow a player to store armor and clothing sets in a different place besides the bank, like Holiday clothing sets. Another facet of this idea is that people could store armor sets in a separate place than the bank, and perhaps put an added level of protection on the Wardrobe, with an additional in game password. Also, if you give people achievements for earning different armor sets, if someone hacks their account and steals gear, they can appeal to Blizzard and get it back.

On top of that, I think that Blizzard could pay homage to itself, and keep past content relevant, what's on my mind is the armor tiers 1-10. By getting the armor set and having it in your wardrobe you could switch to that skin. For example, a person with full tier 12 gear could switch skins to their tier 2 gear in the wardrobe. These could get people into doing the pre-BC, and the BC quests for tier sets again, and other clothing sets, like the AQ40 gear, along with achievements for getting the tiers. I was thinking that a good amount of development went into the looks of other armor sets, and some of them were pretty cool, and it would be cool to be able to wear those armor sets again at the highest level, so without losing the current armor bonuses.

On top of that, I was thinking that putting on the skin of another armor set could transfer some stats. For example the current Mage Tier 9 set bonus increases the spell abilities of Ice, Mage, and Molten Armor, and the critical strike chance of several spells, but putting on the skin of Tier 2 gear would change that to the Tier 2 equivalent, which was threat reduction of certain spells, increasing the radius of your AoEs, and 10% change of reducing the cast time of certain spells to instant cast. Or the tier 9 hunter set bonus could be replace by the tier 3 set bonus, along with the skin, but since the set bonuses are set to level 60 players, the set bonuses aren't good enough for an 80 level character, so they could be vamped up. This would allow for greater character flexibility when it comes to high level gear, so every high level raider doesn't have to look the same and have more or less has the same abilities.
