I'd pay for an item that would change my fugly mithril +5 full plate into a better looking version. Would you?

As I've suggested not only once, the easiest way is to repick the GS ways.

Create a DDO shop stone. If we combine an equipment with the stone at the stone of change, the stone "eats" the stats of the equipment. If then we combine the imbued stone with the same kind of equipment (fullplate with fullplate, etc), the equipment loses its stats but gains the ones from the stone.

It should be free. I dont think everything in this game should have a pricetag.

They clearly are working on this already. Just check out the cosmetic hats and shield.

Those are purely cosmetic items. They don't add anything substantial game-wise. This is changing a substantial item's design cosmetically so we kick ass AND look good at the same time.

No I wouldnt pay for it. I already pay a subscription to Turbine to play the game. I should not and neither should anyone else have to pay additional $ or £ to choose how their characters Armour, Shield, Helmet or Weapon looks.

It should be part of the game, not just part of the DDO store.

This.

The only stuff that should be Store-only is meta-game stuff like adventure packs, but clearly Turbine is not going down this road.

I understand where your coming from, but I doubt anyone at Turbine's gonna move a muscle unless they stand to make a profit from implementing it. So yes, I would support an item on DDO store with this kind of effect.

They stand to lose profit by implementing it poorly or not implementintg it at all.

Actually they have items that 1) just add cosmetics, and they have items 2) that add cosmetics AND effects.

Take a loot at the bunny hats. They make a cosmetic change while also buffing you.

Well, they could build it into their forgemaster portable repair item. After all, i doubt it's selling that much right now anyways.
