There are already way to many textures to be downloaded from each individual player already, no reason to increase the downloads now.
There's already like 24 textures per person, what's 1 more? It's cached anyway.
EDIT: Really it would be nice if textures were cached by hash instead of person wouldn't it. Maybe immutable textures will exist in the future.
Its not just one more though, it would be 20 textures.
21 regular textures, 20 regular joint textures, then 20 more joint textures with his idea.
Then there are also the other textures to include like dq, trails, ground, flame textures, icon, head avatar, thats 9 more.
Not to mention there are also textures for each 3D item you're wearing, and the item data files to go along with it.
Keep in mind this is just for one person, you have to download this for every player you meet.
well, this idea isn't nice one,
1. the items will be too many(40 joints textures)
2. if it is done, artists would be lazy to make 40 joints texture instead of 20 + body textures so, it will be useless
3. uploading them will take much time and would be annoying.
4. the community and game will be loading too much items which are semi useless items.

If artist don't want to make textures for them then whats the point in having them.
Not to mention you skipped over the fact that I pointed out about how much you would have to download per player. Its an unrealistic amount that would take up way to much space. Hampa and other devs have already stated in the past that they don't want to do anything that would add massive amounts of more textures to each player's custom folder. You can't ask people to download that much.
