Seriously guys (and gals, as rare as you are, yeah I said it), when was the last time you TOOK OFF your shader?
We spend days, weeks, months trying on new shaders to see which looks best. We don't take the time to say, heck what DOES this armor actually look like?
I'll be honest I have put on armor while I had a shader on, replaced it with something better, without ever having seen how it actually looked.
I dare you, even if for a single day, to take off your shaders. Take a look at how you are, without all the flash.
Say the fifth? Yeah, let us remember the fifth of November! I will be removing my shader for the entirety of the fifth, and would love to see how you look without your shaders!

I took my shader off when I got some raid gear and prefer it... it's all brass shades since it's made from bits of Vex, matched up with the Epilogue, looks pretty good IMO. Prior to that, always ran Crucible sans shader... avatar has a much more rough and tumble look (and hunters can get the Hardcase Cloak... torn and bloody, for a true avante garde look)
