The current system makes sense for transfering skins from ordinary items, but is pretty harsh when it comes to event skins.
Let’s say you’re lucky enough to buy an event skin before a particular goddess cube disappears forever. Now, you’ve got a decision to make. Do you use it on your current weapon? You could, but you’re aware that the current chapter will eventually end and this weapon will become obsolete. Since you have no way of transfering that skin to another weapon, and no way of re-buying the skin, you won’t get to wear it anymore.
So you probably end up doing what I do – let the skin rot in your inventory even though you’d rather use it.
What I’d like to suggest is a new system where we either get (a) some sort of item that lets you detach a skin and so you can re-use it again [1] or (b) a dedicated weapon cosmetic slot.
[1] If IMC is worried about money, it could work like the current Weapon Appearance Material (heck, it could be the current Weapon Apperance Material). It could also make the detached skin bound to your team, if they’re worried about circulation.
What are your thoughts, folks? Surely I’m not the only one who can’t bear to use those super rare weapon skins?
