Lock weapons, not armor

I like that you have to choose your arsenal before you enter a gate. However, I think you should be able to freely change your armor on the fly to adapt to the situation. Let me change my helmet, armor, and shield on the fly and it gives me a better reason to collect, level, and use resistance sets. Otherwise, I predict everyone will gravitate towards "well-rounded", and we'll have 90% of players using the same 2 or 3 sets of gear.

I like the idea of unlocking
I like the idea of unlocking our gear at crossroads and also adding an Alchemy terminal to them. That way we could craft any new recipes we buy and try them out.

You can actually switch
You can actually switch between your current equipped gear with your costumed one while inside a gate, giving you two sets of gear. This only applies to helmet and armor pieces though.
But you are correct, OP. I feel more inclined to wear gear that has balanced defenses. I don't really switch my gear around too much because of the current system, but would love the ability to change my setup while I'm in a gate.

Switching costume and
Switching costume and equipped gear in gates sounds more like a bug than an intentional feature, though, given that as far as I know the costume gear option was for people who preferred the aesthetic appeal of a given set of equipment over the aesthetics of the gear they were wearing for practical appeal.
I've seen a good bit of variation in gear so far as it is. I don't think it's too big of an issue.
If our equipment was unlocked at the crossroads, though, that'd be pretty keen.
