That is the meaning of Completely Data-Driven.
You as the client have all the
data you need to know to show correctly what you're wearing.
Your peers in the game cannot peek into your inventory to know that your charms give you
the strength to wear that plate, so they decide that you aren't wearing any. Nice, isn't it?
I really do not envy the programmers who had to sort out this mess. And since this is the
last, the final patch, this will never get fixed. I think.
Nevertheless they did a good job.
