Honestly that is how I feel right now.
Even a lvl 10 has upgraded their gear, maybe they want to show off their personal history, not just gloat about the L33T fabled gear they got. No I have never managed to buy a dress that was worn by a movie star, but ya know, I still have my Navy uniform...it's not impressive to anyone but me...but it means a great deal to me. Please concider thatt EVERY character has something they are proud of & make this something that is realtively easy to obtain by ALL lvls, L33Ts have enough cool stuff.
As for Flaming the Devs on this one - well my friend you are not level 70 yet by choice because you "like to take it slow". Guess what - you are going to miss out on content because of your choices. The Manikin is part of the RoK content NOT KOS, EOF, DOF, original world. You choose to play alts, you choose consume the content at your own pace. What I am saying is "CHOOSE TO SAVE 2 PLAT and buy a rare or go harvest one"I surprises me how many people ingame and in RL demand to drive a porche but refuse to pay anything but the chevel price. Put the effort into this task until you succeed.
That might be a rather harsh reinterpretation of my words, there. Let me just clarify:
I fully support "taking it slow". I fully support people who don't want to rush to high levels. The game is about having fun and enjoying yourself, and if getting to a high level isn't what a particular person finds fun, then I definitely don't think they should feel in any way forced to.
My point is that anybody of any level and any amount of play time can afford these mannequins if they want to. Valkry is not being told "sorry you solo, you don't raid, so you stink". Absolutely not. Valkry is being told that it is 110% possible to easily afford a rare pelt as a soloer, as a casual player, without spending more than an hour or two tops, at any level.
Yes, it may take 1-2 hours to earn enough money to buy a pelt (particularly right away, as no doubt prices will increase a bit while the mannequins are new) but even a total level 1 newbie can get enough coin for a pelt in 1-2 hours if they wish to. I don't feel that 1-2 hours (and less for a higher level) is overly demanding to earn a nice new desirable -- and let's face it, totally fluff -- item. They're totally obtainable for any who do want them, at any level, and any type of play style, without requiring you to group, raid, solo, craft, quest, neglect your real life, or learn to dance the polka.
As I said before, if you need tips on how to make money, there are plenty of people in chat channels, on these forums (some of whom have already posted in this thread), and on third party websites who will be able to give you many tips on how to earn your pelt (quite within the EULA of course).

screenshot - I see I misremembered the creation date slightly, but the time played and coin is the point.)
