I know if you are in a town or outpost you see everyones armor in a low detail mode.
I would like to suggest one change to this: The person I select is also rendered at max detail. This would help when you see someone walk by with a really cool armor set and you want to see what it really looks like.
Since it's just one person, I wouldn't think it would affect performance much.
High detail armor render on selection

make it selectable!
options: armor detail
low on everyone
high on selection only
high on self only
high on self and selection
high on party
high on party and selection
high on everyone
i love options
since i would expect the server is just telling the client "this guy has 15k tormenters" and the client is doing all the rendering, this isn't a bandwidth or server load issue. let the client set the detail level. people with 9 GHz CPU's and 1GB video cards can view high on everyone while us mere mortals can have more reasonable settings
