In spite of purps not turning to pinks I am afraid this may adverse effects for the new campaigns early on when purps are still rare. Then those with plat stand a lot better change of getting purps early on and cash in on their limited supply and high demand.

And for the record, I'm one of those that will benefit from this change because I'm a heavy plat spender. Even so, I think the best gear should be worn by those that have earned it in game.

But I have to think on the matter a bit more. For now that's just speculation.
