Very unlikely to happen, or would be a ridiculous cost to offset the loss in "panic gearing".
Any ability to strip and build a new toon would negate the farming aspect of the game. Every meta change, drop X crystals and you are caught up instantly.
New event or character release, pay X crystals and gear up get the toon, then drop down the toons you "dont need" and move all that gear wherever you want.
Yes spending those crystals could be a source of revenue, but this could also just be free crystals gained from arena that can now be saved vs buying gear needed.
The cost would end up being so high it would be prohibitive to many players or it would be used as a substitute for grinding, which would just make it a feature for a certain size of mammalian sea dwellings creatures.
