I know this has been posted a few times by others, but I havent noticed anyone point out a simply way to solve the whole insignai thing.
I like the idea of insignia's, so dont misunderstand me.
But I dont like that when you craft armor, the armor is like a blank slate from the start.
I propose we keep the tyrian and canthan idea of having armor contain stats when their crafted. THEN if you wish to change it with insignia's you can later on.
Why?
Because if your paying 15k + material costs + dye costs for armor already.
You dont want to have to pay in access of 1-2k on top of that for an expensive insignia rune.
Although...
I do understand why they made crafted armor clean.
Basically to cut down on the amount of armor they have to display at the armor traders. So you have a short 5 piece list, instead of a long 20+ one.
And to make all profession armor require the same materials, as apose to different materials for different stat armor.
Thats all a good thing.
But I would personally rather have a long list of 20+ armor to choose from, pre-made with stats, then having to pay extra gold for the insignia after.
Im not saying all this because Im unable to make gold.
I have 3 characters and 4 x 15k armors amoung them, and I work hard for my gold.
But when you have worked your bum off and then find you have to pay more, its a bit annoying.
So give us pre-insigniad armor and THEN let us choose to modifiy them .
