Costume Gears: Usable or Unusable in GVG areas?

[GM-Ciar]

Hello heroes! As some of you know, we've had costume items existing since possibly 2015, but they are unobtainable currently. Their planned release is sometime later this year, along with the Fairyland Archipelago.

What are costumes, some may ask?

Costume Gears are purely aesthetic gears that replace your headgear sprite when equipped. They take a separate gear slot ("Costume" Upper, Middle, Lower, etc.), meaning you can have something like Ulle's Cap equipped, but you and everyone else will see whatever costume gear is equipped.

Things to note: Costumes are unrefinable and will not ever give or receive any kind of stat buff, boost, autobonus, enchant, etc. Providing absolutely no benefit, these will be usable by any class, at any level.


Due to certain points raised among the T&D team about their usability (or lack of) in GVG areas, I've decided to make this poll to ask:

Do you think Costume Gears should be usable in WoE, BG, or other GVG enabled areas?

If your answer happens to be no, please post to explain why!
