Equipment upgrading and socketing
Disenchanting pinks - will destroy the item and can yield either crystals and/or in rare cases gems with stats.
The crystals are used to upgrade equipments. Maybe have an npc that will let you bring these crystals, an item and pay a fee to get it upgraded. When an armor piece is upgraded it'll get +armor value. When a weapon is upgraded it'll get +attack value. If an equipment is upgraded to +2(upgraded twice) it'll have one socket. A socket for every 2 levels, and maybe have the max upgrade at +6.
The gems that come from Disenchanting pinks will be used for socketing these upgrades equipments. In my opinion make these gems really rare. And maybe have them drop from bosses as well. Some examples of gems could be:
+5 int/Dex/Str
+2 h/s
+1 h/s, +1 m/s
+ 4% dodge
IMO, this will help with the un-used pinks. And will give the people who are maxed out in level something else to do.
This will let players customize their gear more. For example, "Rift" gear is lacking mana regen, so they can just socket it with m/s gems.
