Not a bad idea, but I dont see it getting a lot of use. Which means that it will probobly not happen.
I definitely support the adding of more asymmetric pieces, hopefully in both left and right variations.

I'd go for this - mis-matched armour? Yes please!

Because its a good idea. 
Clearly it's more popular than I thaught it would be! Maybe this does stand a chance of being included afterall. 
It would add a lot of extra Costume creator power with little actual work on the devs part, just clone all the existing shoulder pieces, etc. and remove the extra one.
The only part that would need some dev time is if they decided to allow a mix and match system so you could wear a different shoulder pad, sleeve, glove, boot etc on both arms/legs. (I think that Chest, Legs and Chest details would need substatial amounts of work, so im not expecting anything in these areas)
It would be nice to see a robotic arm coming from a tattered sleeve of a jacket, while the other sleeve is whole and unmarked.

Every costume items of this kind (Gloves, boots, shoulders, ears, jacket sleeves, robotic arms, robe sleeves, trench coat sleeves) should have a left/right option, completely agree!

Sometimes all at once.

I see another advantage to this getting included in that the items we are requesting are already in game,
albeit as dual sets left + right glove etc.
This suggestion would only require the separating of the left and right models into their side specific options.
(Yes I know there would be work involved separating them.)
However this separation could be worked on behind the scenes by adjusting the current selection to use either a single dual model or both individual models if available.
Which would allow the devs time to split all the models for left and right options without breaking the game...
Once the models were split the devs could then modify the character creator to then include the individual left and right selection options.
Furthermore, they could then remove the robotic arm options from the chest selection, as they would be available as individual arm options on either side.
(Thereby allowing for torn sleeves and robotic, stone, skin, etc. upper arms, gloves. (Or boots...)

TOTALY AGREE!
Then we can make bum heroes, with only a shoe on 1 foot and stuff
A problem with this could just be higher shoes
If you got a foot without a shoot (flat) and you got a Platform on the other, it will look like your one legi s longer then the other...

I asked that some time ago... No real answer though.
Wait and see... and hope.

Ah, I'm not really hoping much. Noone ever REALLY reads these threads looking for new things to put in the game. A shame really, cos alot of these ideas are cool 
Ah well... maybe, just MAYBE some bright spark on the American servers has already suggested this. Then there's a chance.

Been longing for this since release!
Not saying I'm a psychopathic plastic surgeon, but I've noticed something that I think is a bit restricting.
If you choose medieval shoulders, you have to have them on BOTH shoulders. ...why? I don't know.
You have to have gloves identical unless you have a robotic arm and in some cases, that's not what you want.
So why not separate the shoulders, boots and gloves options to left and right? It may take a bit of work, I understand, but it would improve the character creation a massive amount and not need any modeling or skinning work. Simply a few tweaks with whether it shows up on both hands.
I just thought that we should be able to choose one shoulder pad without having to use a skull or gladiator. It doesn't make much sense why this was not actually implemented at the start.
I mean... sometimes, one glove is enough. Oh and sleeves on jackets, robes and trenchcoats as well. Symmetry is a bit of a hinderance to me. The single shoulder cape was a big step forward. Also, make a left version of that while you're at it.
Ranty type thing over.
