The Problem with Linked Sets

so a couple weeks ago, Gabriel's Fire Moon cosmetic was bugged for everyone to have and it was unlinked, so many players including myself were actually playing Gabriel because of one his best cosmetics was unlinked and there was so much creative freedom to mix it around, and the reason why it was a set in the first place is cuz the big coat has clipping issues, but here's the thing as in this example;

Having sets is meaningless if certain cosmetics can be mixed and still have clipping issues, like why is Gabe's firemoon a set when the clipping issues are minor compared to Yun-Jins? and even other characters like Kate's greek goddess skin, I remember the bug when all linked cosmetics were unset and I mixed Kate's greek goddess skin in the shop and I genuinely cannot see why it was link to begin with. All I noticed in a part of her long belt clipped into the body but it was so minor it didn't even matter and it's too skinny to notice. Other Sets I get it with hoodies for example, hoodies can have extreme clipping issues that makes it awkward, but minor ones Like with gabe's doesn't make a lot of sense, His fire moon pants are even fully modeled and yet it can't be used which again, limits the creativity for mixing cosmetics.

Another example is feng's PJ's being linked, the reason being is her swater has clipping issues with certain skirts but yet her default sweater basically shares the same physics as the pjs sweater almost and the only clipping issues it has is with her blighted skirt;

So then why was her blighted outfit never a set then? My point is that there's no point in making certain skins sets unless they involve hoodies or belts that cover bot the torso and bottoms together, and then some like Yun Jin's for example whose skirts with bows have clipping issues with certain torsos. At least if the sets can't be fixed for whatever reason, at least separate the heads and make it a 2 piece set (with the exceptions of hoodies and legendaries/licensing) Even one last example is Huntress's CryptTV skin, it can be mixable with no clipping issues from what I remember from that unlinked bug yet it's a set but Hag's isn't.

Do forgive me from this long ranting, I'm just a bit annoyed with the amount of good cosmetics we have with mixing potential but are locked behind sets, and the moment Gabe's firemoon cosmetic was patched, he was dropped immediately.

    Because theyre lazy.. they know what they said doesnt make sense but they probably would rather have you buy the full set than individual pieces. They even said in a q&a that there’s no plans to unlink sets. It’s honestly disappointing, and you would think they would release non linked sets from now on.. but I guess not.

    It’s a shame they reverted the glitch as I loved using the pants with his Christmas sweater. Hopefully they unlink it again in an upcoming patch.
