ok, you must have just noticed afterwards that this was directed more towards the modellers. saying that, check out my edit ^^^.
I feel that your perspective is more broad, and assumes a more dynamic item release progression process throughout the game than it really is. Where people may find some subjectivity in the importance of specific item stats, don't assume that this is valid for the entirety of valuable weapons; some items are objectively better than others. If a worse weapon looks better, it remains less viable for the team of players on the server to keep on using it, appearance becomes irrelevant. NI has a strong emphasis on teamwork, to the extent that many people will go for stats over looks, for the sake of the team, what they are left with is how they feel about the 'appearance' of their item that they already know is epic in terms of stats. This final feeling is the major variable which imo should be as positive as possible, in order to appreciate the best items in the game.
Based on the appearance-based choice of items you referred to, people would be accepting of my choice to use a worse weapon (strange great sword) to slash in rag, just because i love how it looks. This is not the case. I may have used an extreme example, yet the same underlying principles remain.
