It would be nice to see on Preview an extra view showing how you would look in Haven/Missions/Clockworks. Sometimes I spend a good deal of money to make a costume that looks good on Preview, but looks mediocre in Haven or doing Missions/Clockworks. How about it?

How is that possible anyways?

The angle during preview and the angle during actual play differ.

Quite possible, and not only the angle as Draycos said, but also the lighting.

Firebreak helm's color matches perfectly with Snarbolax Coat in preview (same dark blue), but not in the game screen (helm looks redder).

Little-Juances, It is possible

The preview only gives you a front/back/side view. However, when you are actually playing, you see the character at a 45 degree birds eye view. So sometimes the character looks great on preview, but doesn't look good in Haven or when doing levels.

Exactly, Evilnut! Also, auras

Exactly, Evilnut! Also, auras are much easier to see (and notice) in the AH preview, but sometimes are very hard to see in the gameplay. It also is very bad for accessories. For example, I had a stranger hat and bought a pipe. On preview, you could see the pipe and it looked wicked. However, in real gameplay, I couldn't even see the damn pipe because it was covered completely by the hat!
