The new armor system is great, but I'd like to see you add a salvage to pre-searing that will get ruins and insignias. There are a lot of us that have perm pre characters now that you can death lvl to 20 again. But the way it is, if you want a ruin or insignia for your armor you have to find someone who has a superior salvage from one of the exploits to salvage it for you. Players are paying up to 100k in pre and some 200k in post for a stinking minor ruin. I don't see how it would hurt to make a salvage availible in pre to eliminate this condition. Specially now that pre armor will also take insignias. Quite frankly I'd say anyone opposed to this idea probably has a salvage in pre lol.
I an even see how to go about doing this, say you put a collecter in picken square over the wall, and you have to have 10 bones, 10iron ingets, 10 wooden planks, 10 tanned hide squares and 10 granite slabs to trade for one expert salvage kit, that way you make it take some effert to get without having to program a new quest. Plus you would have to use up a couple of regular salvages to get it, kind of like learning to use an expert kit.
