Developers, Please Read -- Solution to the Dragon Vanity dilemna!!

[Energizeric]

After some discussion in other threads, I have come up with a solution which I think most will like:

1) Remove all stats from dragon sets.

2) Make a "dragon crafter" in Mt. Fang.

3) When a player goes to the dragon crafter with a compete matching dragon set (pink legendary Dragon Mystery Helm & Dragon Mystery Armor, and matching dragon pet), the dragon crafter converts the pink legendary dragon helm and armor into the following 3 items:

Dragon Mystery Helm (non-pink vanity -- blue inventory color like a hooch hat)
Dragon Mystery Armor (non-pink vanity -- blue inventory color like a hooch hat)
Dragon Ring (pink legendary vanity ring -- goes in a new inventory slot for vanity rings)

4) All 3 of the new items are tradeable/sellable.

5) Because the dragon ring is a "vanity ring", it can be worn with your elite ring, and the stats for both stack.

6) Dragon rings will all have the following stats: 8 dmg, 5 armor, 1 crit, 1 h/s, 1 m/s (the same stats as a gold dragon set gives) -- this way it is good for all classes and easier than having 4 different versions of the dragon ring.



This solution will solve the following issues which seem to be of most concern:

1) Dragon items will retain their value. The non-crafted ones will be like crafting commodities much like glyph blade steels are -- they will be very expensive. And once crafted, the vanity dragon items will be worth a somewhat decent amount, but the crafted dragon rings will be where the big value is -- they will most likely sell for gold cap.

2) Many players will chose to only wear the ring, and not wear the dragon vanity items, and many may just own the ring and sell their vanity items, thus STS gets their wish that not all players will be wearing the same vanity items and look the same.

3) Players like myself who have invested fortunes in dragon sets will not lose their shirts in this as the sets, or items they can be converted to, will retain their value.

4) Players will not be forced to chose between their elite ring bonus and the dragon ring bonus. As you can guess, if players were forced to make a choice here, they would chose the elite ring bonus which is much higher and thus the dragon rings would become pretty worthless as most end gamers would not use one.

What do you all think??
