I was wondering if anyone knows if they have plans to change how skins and Crystals operate in the game? I see people in chat talking about new ‘collection’ types (or something different) coming for anything you ‘spend’ to buy something (as currency) so we don’t have stacks of them in our bags and bank (like dungeon tokens, living story ‘things’, etc), and thought maybe they mentioned something about ‘skinning’ in the same source(s)?
The new Zenith skins seem a step in the right direction. You learn it, and you can just apply it whenever to change your look without needing another physical item with it’s own properties.
As it stands now, I have 3 different looks, maybe up of 3-4 pieces (boots, chest, lets and maybe back). To compound the problem, 2 of those looks are tied to physical items that have ‘real’ stats and one is tied to a set that is for Magic Find. Now, at some point MF will go away, so that might be moot, but even if all 3 were on ‘real’ stat items, that’s still 8 more items I have to craft/buy besides burning a Crystal ‘and’ having to have the bag space for it. What if I wanted 10 different looks? 
I was wondering if anyone knows if they plan on maybe making a change to how the Crystals work (as an idea) to let us ‘burn’ a look into memory, so it becomes something like a Zenith skin (without destroying the item), and then we can just use them whenever we feel like over our real items?
I suppose they might be hesitant as it would be a potential loss of Crystal use, but I would argue that ‘more’ people would be inclined to burn a ‘lot’ of different items with Crystals just to mem the look before selling the item, increasing their profits. And if they wanted to make these skins ‘per character’ to increase their profits, so be it!
Crystals would still be used to ‘merge’ items. Or maybe if it’s easier to still ‘kill’ the item, but mem what you pick as the look that first time, that’s fine too. The only downside I see is a drop in market value potentially for some items because once you mem’d a look, you’d never need to go back and buy an item again to go ‘back’ to a look. But honestly, how much of the market is that? Do people burn crystals and in game gold every day/week buying items out of the TP to change their look? I bet that fraction of the market is ‘very’ low.
It’s just ‘terribly’ inconvenient and cumbersome and ‘in game’ gold and space costly as it is now, and was hoping someone heard of possible changes coming in this area?
