As much as I like the Raid gear. I think that it has gotten old. very old. When I see a blue piece of armor and think "Wow, that looks really good. Too bad I can't use it. I feel very bad for the designers of that Helmet or Curiass as no one can or will use it." I think it would be very nice to have visual Armor and possibly weapons. It can give much more Individuality in Destiny, and give options for very nice armor combinations. It would not effect Game play that much as some armor already has random stats and perks. If you had an Exotic on though. You couldn't wear a visual piece due to it being important to see. Example: Helm of Saint-14. A titan hides it in a visual slot and then he has an unfair advantage. Now for weapons it can be a Different matter, but also very similar. I have been using a Blue Scout rifle, the Stalker BNGL. It looks absolutely amazing, but it sadly has poor perks and is not viable for raids or anything. but yet I have The Satrienne Rapier. I personally do not like its model. but it has amazing perks and stats. With the Exotics it can be a similar matter. Forcing Exotics to not have Visual slots. All in all I think that this can be a very beneficial thing to add that can make everyone in the community to be more individual and unique.
