To turn the discussion in a positive direction: What are your suggestions for Elite Vanity Caps? I think I can safely say that we realize that everything about them isn't ideal. What are your ideas to change them?

1) a way to allow others to "do the work" and get the gear to be on an even playing field?
2) make it fun
3) make it cool, something unique

I'm sure you all would have other criteria as well. So, grab your armchair and let's play designer!
Sam, I love this.
Do work?
Make them.
Here's what I think.

1.
ANY type of Platinum Elixir to 71 VOIDS the elite vanity.
Just completely voids it.
Or rather, any type of 4x voids it.
You and I BOTH know, that when we had to grind to the COP, there WERE no 4x elixirs, only 3x.
Although I like the no platinum elixir part a lot.
You should have to REALLY work if you want to get something, not just spam Platinum and slack off.

2.
Make an elite vanity fun?
Give them a set bonus, I guess, but NO sparkles.
Sparkles are only for the first vanity set.

3. Make them cool and unique?
I think the original vanity set should be able to replace as only one piece in the next set.
Example:

New Elite Vanity Shield+Armor+Helm
The COP can replace the New Helm

But
New Elite Vanity+SoH+Mount Fang Armor
SHOULD NOT WORK.

See what I suggest?
