A brief history: 
Vet reward clothing allows a little extra armor along with some cover up for ugly armor… somehow the staff forgot that some of us are girls and our girl characters would rather be dressed in dresses and not robes. You could only choose robes or cloaks. Lesser metal robes for the younger years… and as the years progress… the colors become brighter and more fun. You can wear lesser year items for your account, but you can't wear greater.
Around the time the gargoyle stuff came around, the staff finally “discovered” we wanted the ability to exchange these robes and cloaks for dresses and now gargoyle goodies. They set up a chest in a building at the Lyceum at Moonglow… you drop the old clothing item onto the box, a new item of the same type appears in your backpack. You do this until you get what clothing item you want. For example… you have a robe. You drop the robe onto the chest, you get a dress. It's the same type as you had before, just a different type clothing item.
Now… a few weeks ago, I couldn’t pass up 5-Year Vet Robe… Ice White.
I take it to the box… drop it on the box… get an Ice White Dress. That’s what I wanted… I went on my merry way. Then I stuck the dress in a box at my house.
TODAY, I was searching for some stuff… low and behold, I have an Ice White Robe. The same robe I bought the few weeks ago!!! It didn’t stay a dress. It turned back into a robe. I took it back to the box and exchanged it again. This time, once I got back home… I locked it down on the floor so I could see it, just in case it transforms again.
Anyone else see this happen?
