you know this senario, you buy an armor skin set but now you have to spend quite allot to get new armor in order to use the armor skins.
normally at average it takes about 8-10 gold to get it right, i find that ridicules for something we already payed for.
so i suggest making this a bit easier and cost friendly, when you use a gem store armor skin you can clone the stats of the armor.
this will keep your current armor intact and makes a second armor exactly like the current one except it has the bought skin on it, the armor will always be account bound.
i find it weird to buy something that is already expensive enough and still have to buy even more because it doesn’t work without existing armor, you should be able to use it without spending more then the armor skin it self.
ps. i am really against soulbound, it caused me to have an armor locked on a character i don’t use it for and the storage trick doesn’t work anymore.
so now i have the leggings and chest skin of the phoenix armor stuck, so much money down the drain.
