A solution which would work for me, and anyone else who wanted to see their back piece more than show off, is just let the hobosack be hidden for the client. Serverside, you might look like a rich guy wearing a sack of doodie on his back, but, for the player behind the engineer, you’ll look like you have your actual amazing backpiece equipped.
It’s a dirty fix, but at least we could stare at the sparkles instead of the shiznibit. It’s also easy to implement, the server would just check if option x was on, then either send or don’t send the over-writing pack to the client, while everyone else still sees it so we aren’t OP in pvp (or whatever reason they contrived to tell us we must wear hobosacks).

My two cents.
People in games like these like to look pretty so they can show everyone else how pretty they are.

Lol sadly true. The only people who actually care about the packs in the first place and want them removed would not be satisfied by this.
i kinda like the grenade kit “hobo sack” all i ask is let is dye it so it can atleast match our armor colour that would be a nice change.
it does look nice on my asura as it scales to a nice small size.
also if u have your pistol main hand and fire a shot and swap to a kit in the middle of casting it kinda bugs so your back item + kit pack show up at the same time
