[b]TL;DR:-[/b]
I suggest an infusion system called transfusion that allows for applying an armor's skin to another armor, such that the first one keeps its stats, but looks like the second one.
[b]Brick wall:-[/b]
It is becoming extremely frustrating to have to throw away good looking armor in my vault, just because it has bad stats or incompatible perks. How many of you guys have kept blues or greens or even legendaries that you don't use anymore, just because they look amazing? Wouldn't you like it if you could reskin your current gear to other gear?
I suggest that bungie implements a system that infuses an item's skin unto another item, just like the current infusion system, however instead of boosting the stats of the infused item up, it simply replaces the item's skin or "look" with the item being infused into it, I would call such a system "transfusion".
This obviously needs some restrictions, the first important restriction is that skin items transfused can only belong to the same class, for example a player can't transfuse titan gauntlets into his hunter gauntlets (Otherwise we'd have titan looking hunters, wouldn't that be silly :P) , but a player can transfuse hunter gauntlets into hunter gauntlets, or titan gauntlets into titan gauntlets.
Another important restriction is that this should only apply to armor. Although I wish it would be possible to apply transfusion on weapons, some weapons have very unique firing mechanisms that link with their firing animation, those would be impossible to reskin unto other weapons without completely redesigning the weapon, that would be too much to ask from the devs imo.
This would be very nice for a few reasons, the first is that it will allow for maximum armor diversity, remember when you looked around in year 1, when everyone and their mothers were wearing the same armor? In year two this has been reduced thanks to stats infusion, but unfortunately you can't infuse blue/green/white armor, so it still leaves a tiny bit to be desired, thus transfusion would allow us to have legendary or exotic armor with the any skin available in the game, giving you the ability to entirely customize your guardian to your liking from noob gear to end game pro gear.
