No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying if someone is wearing the magical cloak that I know grants one resistance to fire, I might want to take that into consideration as to whether I cast fire spells or charge at them with my lance of flames. If someone re-tailored the item to look differently, that variable of tactic selection is removed.
I'm saying if I'm playing a greedy brigand that has a covetous desire to loot an item from an opponent yet also doesn't want to randomly alienate people, he's going to use his roguish glances to assess what a person is wearing. Are they a good mark for for a profitable conflict, or not? If I can't tell if that retailored cloak is made from an old cloak of patchwork rags or a regale cloak of glorious enchantment how am I supposed to know whether I want to bother with killing the character?
Of course, how much this affects logistics in your particular game will vary depend on the game's overall design.
