Random Idea for halloween salvage

Well halloween is still some time off so getting this idea out there to see what people think (personally not too sure if the devs read the suggestion forums but hey, what are they there for if not to throw around ideas).

Halloween salvage has one use, the additional costume slot.

My proposal is that there be a special effect for turning in a second set of halloween salvage.

You get to pick any of the halloween temp costume powers to be made permanent. This is available all year round from the regular halloween salvage hand-in contacts.

Before people start yelling that this is unfair to those that could make the various Cons (seriously...the nearest one that NCsoft were giving away the costume at to me was Germany if I remember correctly and begin on a budget it's not like I can get out there) this would be a 'per character' deal.

Basically, unlike the Con perma-temps these would be limited to a one costume of choice per character and only that character, you would need to hand in two sets of salvage on another character to get the costume you wanted.

Those who have attended the Cons get the power on each of their characters when created, those who use the halloween salvage would need to either buy or be given the two sets of halloween salvage, go talk to the hand-in person, pick a costume and then (even if they have chosen wrongly...should take your time watching where you clicking buddy) be stuck with that one costume on that character, no other characters on the account get it.

This allows those of us who aren't A) American or B) Well off enough to afford the travel costs to earn one of the costume powers of our choosing.

So any thoughts?

I like it.

Sure, sounds cool and it'd give me the option of making a renegade {or just traditionalist} Rikti.

Seems like a reasonable idea to me.

It sounds like you really thought out how to make this as fair as possible. I also like that it gives EU players more access to them, since they get left out of a lot of official contests due to restrictions.

Just to clarify, do you mean you only get one forever per character, or you just have to earn them individually?

I have a shape-shifter character who would die for the option to work towards the whole collection...

I like the idea, but I would prefer to see the trade ins have an ingame lifetime set(I think the current costumes are 24 hours) so 30 days(ingame) seems reasonable to me.

Also trading in salvage in this matter should count towards a zombie invasion.

I was saying one chosen per character.

Though I understand the desire to have all of them (that's a lot of halloween salvage turn-ins!) but I'm not sure if that's balanced. Admittedly this would all be on one character but allowing for it multiple times would also cause Halloween salvage market prices to spike quite considerably as they become in-demand for a whole new reason.

Please note that I said 30 days ingame time which is quite a long while.
Imagine a temp toggle with a 720 hour duration. That's along time and can probably last for a characters career.

Also part of the reason for the "limited" duration is to encourage more trade ins which I want to count for zombie invasions.
