      I don't like to have the same image for different races.

Well, that, and the sheer number of combinations of character/class/
armour/weapon. It's just not practical to have a different image for every
possible combination, considering the vast variety of equipment in the
game. Unless the client composites images of armour/weapon, but even then,
that's a LOT of effort to draw a scaled-down version of every
weapon/armor, possibly in several different angles.
