I apologize for how horrible the structure for this post is. A lot of questions are spinning in my head.

At some point during my years on Gaia, I read about how people who use nothing but cash shop items tend to be regarded as lazy show-offs, and people who wore items from the same set were considered lazy as well.
Does this still apply today?
Does it depend on which forum you're in? (e.g. GCD vs. Avatar Talk)
Does it depend on the type of item/set (e.g. Starter vs. Set vs. Bundle vs. Items from the same store)?
I personally don't mind if people wear cash-shop-only/RIG-exclusive items if they happen to look good together, or wear multiple poses from the same item because they're a big fan of the item. Though, I guess whether or not they look good together does affect the judgement of whether they're considered as lazy/showing-off.
But...aren't we, in a way, showing-off just by wearing any item at all?
Feel free to post examples of avatars you consider to be typical for users who are lazy/showing-off too. I'm interested in the different opinions people may have on this.
How often do you judge people based on the way they wear certain items, rather than the forum they happen to be posting in? Or do you look at other factors first when judging a Gaian's personality? What is the order in which you do this?
