Item text colour should reflect stats quality
Tyria, Underworld
There has already been a change with “color of the name will now be taken from …”. I don’t think they’ll change it back. I think it takes the higher one. My low karma skinned items are still exotic colored.
Yes, it’s awkward to have zenith skins over your weapons, which makes them appear exotic, but that’s your fault. To check ones quality just throw it into the mystic forge. Then you can see which other items (with their quality) are showing up.
It’s not my fault in that there is no way for me to apply the skin and yet for the text colour to remain reflecting the stats quality.
I do not understand the logic that applying an ‘exotic’ skin to a ‘rare’ item should make the resulting item ‘exotic’. It is confusing and misleading imo. The rarity of the skin is reflected in how cool the item looks, the quality of the stats should be reflected in the colour of the text.
Going to the Mystic Forge and manually checking the real quality of my items is not really a decent solution to the problem, although at least it is an option.

Well, you’re not supposed to change the skin of every weapon when you go it dropped, just because you can. As I said … usually the higher one counts, I think.
I wouldn’t want my equipment to be blue because I used blue skins on my exotic stuff, but I also wouldn’t want my legendary to be exotic because I changed its stats.

You’re not? Who stated this? :-P

I understand which is why I think legendaries should always retain their purple colour. But in other cases, I think item colour should represent stat quality.
