the clutter is annoying but there are worse things that we'd like changed with apparel. A closet tab would be handy. move all the pieces you never wear into that room.
First is the awarding points to maxxed out gear. It's just a waste of points. this becomes a bigger deal when your common gear is maxxed and you'd like for the rare and epic gear to accrue points faster.
They tossed a bone about a month ago and started awarding coin bonuses if the system wanted to award points to a maxxed out piece of gear.
But for the most part the players that have maxxed out gear don't really need 1200 coins. we've got hundreds of millions of the things.
I'd rather the points went to the other pieces.
