I know skins in LoL are purely cosmetic, but capes for example in EQ2 are not, even tho they pass off a lot of stuff as cosmetic, they do something else for your character as well.

Also, I don't know of any MMORPGs that have gone F2P that give you full character slots, have access to all items, or for many of them even use simple features like an auction house with subbing.

Just log into EQ2, expect the same and more in the next EQ.
Giving you your full quote but going to talk about this:

What I was actually thinking about is something I saw on EQ1 when I went back for a month to play it to see how it was. They have items that drop that change the aesthetic of that piece of armor to look a certain way (I think that's how it worked anyway, I never actually used them).

What you could do is allow people to buy a piece of armor from the shop with RL money and attach that to the piece of equipment you want the visuals to change for. It would be purely aesthetical and the people would have to purchase it again if they wanted to look the same way when they got a new piece of gear in the slot they had already purchased the aesthetic change for.
