When it comes to cosmetic items, 90% of them are worthless since they are released frequently and no one cares about them. To make them have value, items should remain discontinued. This will make ppl interested in these items and have long term value. I need my blue charms back.

No support. If we want to pay we should be able to. Hopefully they add everything to TH soon. 200M all skills, Trimmed comp Cape, MQC
White knighting"female" forum users is cringey
Always protect "certain community minded people" no matter what!

they could have a cool down , like after 3 years remove them as by then most people unlocked them, then when 3 years up let the hoarders take em over

I agree it's a joke how so many tokens are worthless. Some of them give really cool unlocks but have a price tag that don't reflect this, like the tomb gorilla pet, IMO a well-designed pet but with a price that is not even 50k... Tokens like these should have either been rare from the start and/or not released that often. 10m isn't unreasonable for your average good looking override, 10k on the other hand IS unreasonable.

I don't feel making tokens completely discontinued is the way to go but making tokens rarer is something I'd definitely support. Another idea is to encourage players to unlock lots of tokens even if they're not necessarily interested in the override, but to get access to new titles. Like 'fashionscaper' title if you unlock 50% of all tokens and a golden variant if you unlocked 100%.
Feel free to take a look at my suggestions: 200m xp prestige

Not that my copious amounts of tokens from buying whatever for spare gp has any barring.
But the token spam has become an issue for the game function itself.

As we're all aware. The item list is so long that I'm only vaguely sure I'm aware of about 1/5th of it in any form of regular coming to mind once a quarter.

I don't suggest that the token format be discarded.
And am vehemently against desisting of current GE-able state as a hotfix to clutter.
That'd not just result in player upset from immidiate weath loss.
But give reasonably legitimate items, that the social manipulators for pixel wealth scum to use to defraud others directly in game.

Or near foolproof obfuscation as rwt tokens.


I've warmed to cosmetic overdrives being acceptable fashion.
So I'd like to see more variants. Not gonna sugar coat it.
But is a fair and reasonable way of having the 'free' sample.
Something to give a lead in to Soloman's 'I can't believe restricted buying of Ruincoins on fresh accounts isn't a thing. Cos these Noobs with a visual skin that cost 600+ RC. But struggling to get enough gp/seance to equip the correct item sets is a hell of a bummer. MTX Overrides'

So to fix the clutter.
I believe a secondary market be created.
However not just a segmented GE.
This should be a catalog wardrobe. Where you can enter the override menu but with access to all items to try on.
With that, A Simple favorites function be added for bookmarking and creating personal sets of desired items and overrides.

This wardrobe would then have that list and sets be in the 'fashion' market interface
So that ease of item selection and purchase is there.

As for giving the prices in the wardrobe to players assembling a set. Either way of if to or not.
Some would like to know if they're spending that second.
Some wold love to have it as a 'wish list'.
So that there's a target to achieve to obtain their set.

Tokens will cease being junk overall.
And Soloman will have new customers.
In the membrane.

To ensure this outcome, the rng of existing recurring ones should be weighted more to scarcity.
No two ways around it.
There's currently many legitimately poorly designed and scantly wanted tokens in existence.
Luckily many of them are switch prompted events.
So this separation of the Token category's should generate more interest in circumstantial use overrides.

Still waiting for a good lootbeam token. Might even use the lootbeam myself.
And am pretty sure the PVMer's would love a bit of variety.
