Dressing Room!

Is this really a big thing in WoW?

Honestly, when I'm getting new equipment for my characters, I don't care how it looks - I'm concerned about the stats. So far I haven't run across any two pieces of equipment that had identical stats across the board. Sometimes I might have to choose between which stats I want - more agility vs strength, or which resists I want. But even decisions like that are going to be based off my current stats. If the stats are bad, there's no way I'm paying for it, and if they're good, I don't care if it makes me look like an inside-out troll.

So far the only things I've kept strictly for looks are some quested armor and a couple of robes, and all of them have minimal stats, so I'll wear them to craft.
