Even without this there isn't too much variety. Raid, Taken, and Faction armor are the most used. I rarely see anyone in full Vanguard or Crucible (unless you're a die-hard Seahawks fan, then rocking all Crucible is the only way to go). I like the idea of matching armor for different bonuses because people have different play styles, and at least everyone would look fashionably correct. It makes me cringe when I see people with one piece of armor from different sets, and then a shader and an exotic to make it stand out even more. There are some ugly guardians out there! 😀
