    That's a lot of colors. People will be running around like The Rock screaming, "Can you taste the rainbow!?!"

    All silliness aside, bumping the stats up on equipment that is already listed as legendary seems a better fix. Then rare items will seem more appealing. Bind on pickup may also be a good idea. Then everybody won't be running around with the same items. It will also give people a reason to run the maps themselves since some items can only be acquired by that particular character.

    Not to mention the brag factor. "I ran Alien Oasis a bazillion times just to get the Sniper's Probe of Legend."

    Yeah, too many colors. My inventory would look like a bad acid trip.

    "Bind-on-pickup" = No More Trading

    Seriously, if the best items can't be traded, it would basically kill the budding trade economy that PL has right now. Considering that the Devs have put some effort into adding gifting (v1.1) and secure trade (the upcoming v1.2) into the game, I'm unsure why they would want to squash the trade economy.

    I wouldn't want every item to be Bind on Pickup. Just a few here and there to give a particular class a reason to fight a certain boss. I'm all for trading btw. But how can something be rare when you can find it up for trade everyday? How about it's rare because only a few people have it and only a few of them were able to equip it.

    Instead of Bind on Pickup, Bind on Equip.

    White = Common
    Uncommon = Orange
    Green = Rare
    Purple = Epic
    Red = Mythical
    Bright Blue = Magnificent
    Black = Unconprehendable
    Bright Pale Yellow (or Gold) = Unimaginable
    Pink = Legendary (the pink needs to be a brighter pink so people can more easily tell difference between purple and pink)
    Cool but way to complex for this MMO.
    Maybe add Red as the rarest.

    Leave the drop rates alone. Increase the stats more like everyones been saying.

    The End.
