Thinking about the lack of customization in character looks, I came to a realization. There is actually a bunch of shaders already in game. The IB allows you to buy their shaders for glimmer after a certain rank level. Something could work for the factions using a similar model with commendations as currency. For example, for the coveted DO shaders, they could be unlocked as you progress. Level 5, you unlock access to the first, then at 10 and 15. I set the level requirement high, to not upset those that had to grind 10s of levels. They would then cost an amount of commendations to purchase( see poll ). Then if future shaders are added as DLC, they could simply raise the rep level requirement 5 levels. IMO, this would elevate our customization limits to a degree and provide guardians with more options and motivation to gain rep with factions besides just gear. It would also allow for better representation of a guardians faction at a glance, when bullets and bodies are flying. I hope something similar to be done with the Champion class items, because some may have a ridiculous amount of rank with no Champion item, and someone else receives it at level 4 rep. This for me would defeat the purpose of high reputation, as representing a faction should reward loyalty with exclusive styles. Seeing one would define the players faction, not define randomness.
