There's too many purely cosmetic items in Destiny that serve no practical purpose. To be fair, this allows for greater character customization without fear of compromising one's loadout. However, it also makes a large amount of the game's content seem rather pointless. Jumpships: Should definitely have gotten a larger role, but that's something that would probably have to come in a later installment. Not much to be done about them now. Emblems: Are fine; they can stay cosmetic. Shaders: Are fine staying cosmetic, but could use more variety (two-three colors is kind of boring). Or even add a spot on the website where players could create their own custom shaders. If you really wanted to maintain shader's roles as "rewards," you could (as with many things) take a page from ESO's book, and allow players to unlock colors for completing specific tasks. Plus, how cool would it be to see Gay-Pride-style, rainbow-dressed Guardians running around? Class "Armor:" Should do something. Besides change the destination of your reputation-point income. Perhaps give them special effects (e.g. "Faster reload speed with Hand Cannons," "More ammo for Auto Rifles," etc) without adding defense, or add defense without granting perks, or add [i]new[/i], class-specific perks (such as "Increased jump height" on a Hunter's cloak, or "Increased glide speed" for a Warlock's bond). Or do something else I haven't even thought of. As long as they serve some useful purpose. That's all I got. Be warned: until and unless I get a direct mandate from God or DeeJ commanding me to stop, I will "Bump 4 Jesus" this post into oblivion if it doesn't get much traffic Edit: Continuing with the idea of borrowing from other successful franchises, you could also add a way to change the appearance of gear so that it looks like other gear. Diablo III does this, and I liked it. My Crusader looks like an archangel now. [i]Without[/i] having to sacrifice practicality for the sake of style.
