Suggestion to grant Elite Cap Vanities with perks in store
Perhaps STS could grant Elite Vanities for people that reach the current level cap such as for the current expansion, an Elite Vanity Helm given to those that cap before the next expansion comes along and for the subsequent expansions to come, Elite Vanity Armor's and Banners that look unique.
Capped players nowadays don't even bother using the granted cap Vanity Banners because they do not look special, in fact, really plain as compared to other banners such as Big Love or Arcane Banner!
In further expansions, perks (Such as HP/MP Boost, Mana Regen, Crit, Dodge, Dmg) can be added when we go to the NPC in charge of the current expansion to allow us to craft our Elite Vanities into perhaps Elite Gems (Can be removed from items and still be preserved and re-socketed into other items) since Crafting & Upgrading system is out and new, ready for new paths to branch out into.
Edit: Elite Vanities should probably only be granted to those that cap within first 3 days of release expansion for the more hard-working players.
