Destiny is in need of a style system like DC universe, for those that don't know what "styles" is, its basically when you put on pieces of armour you get to keep the look of the armour, so you can replace the armour any time you want and change back to that style.
It is so annoying to get a good looking piece of armour only to replace it for a newer one with more light that doesn't look no where near as good, a style system fixes this issue and I know a lot of fans have been calling for this.

It doesn't make much of a difference with higher level characters. Another point is identifying a person's abilities through their armor. If someone has the crest of Alpha Lupi, or Helm of Inmost Light I'd want to know just by looking at them.
