Have you guys considered this or planned to do this? I know some folks love them, some folks hate em! Set items are items that give you various extra stats or skills or "tiers" as you get more pieces of the gear set. Sometimes "sets" are 2 items sometimes there is an item for every slot before completing the set. Generally Set items have decent stats for their tier of retrieval and then get a bonus for each or a certain number of set items worn. An example would be, The Helm of awesomeness gives +2 armour and 15 atk, there is also The Breastplate of Awesomeness also with +2 armour and 15 atk. When worn together they get a set bonus of +30 armour and on and on for each set piece etc.
Sets do not necessarily give useful bonuses - sometimes they are designed to give a particular appearance. Although most of us do think of bonuses when we hear the word set.
We could have outfits that make us look like Egyptian Gods, for sxample. A Set set. An Isis set. Hmnnnn maybe not such a good idea.
