It's pretty weird how we have some really good-looking armour that will probably never be touched again because the perks that come with it are pretty meh. Cause of that, we are left looking like walking Picasso paintings.
If you're telling me that it's so that players can tell what perks are on you, please, in competitive pvp, you have only a fraction of a second to see your opponent. Unless you're telling me you can analyse your opponent from head to toe in that time frame, it doesn't matter.
Frustratingly, some blue armors look better than the higher tier ones. Maybe cause they were from the D1 era so they look more appealing but whatever.
AC:Odyssey didn't come out with armor transmog but they heard their community and put it in pretty quickly one month after release.
Destiny 2 has been out for almost 2 years. Still no transmog to be seen. Bungie, what gives?

Maybe in D3 since it will supposedly be more RPG based. And the way for Bungie to keep people playing/ grinding is to make more meaningful perks and set-bonuses for armor sets. Not just a perk for an entire set, but a perk for two pieces, three, five. Not only would people hunt for the perk sets they want, but with random rolls they would grind for armor stars they want with said set-perks.
