Afaik that has always been that way...

yeah its always been like that. Your armor looks sick while everybody elses armor looks like a 3rd grader drew it.

It's a good way to reduce lag and to increase performance.

it didnt seem that obvious to me till the latest patch..i guess the really pretty graphics make me seem more outstanding.

its always been like that. i noticed it first time when i was at my friends hosue and he was playing on his warrior. his FOW armor looked so nice compared to all the others i had seen, then i realised they tone it down to reduce lag.

yea, hence why when there were only a few warriors around with FoW armour in the early stages, everyone else would laugh at them and say things like "HAHAHA you wasted 200million on that shitty looking armour??"

Keeps the frames up. Otherwise people with lower-end PCs would struggle to move around.
