This gets my vote.
/signed for more enemy customization.
Makes sense to me.
I might be far off the mark, but I'm pretty sure enemy weapons still operate under the old "weapon choice baked into the powers" system, which means that customizing them would be a lot of work.
That said, if they could put the effort in, I'd love to see it.

Alright, this is an idea that's been taking up space in my brain for a long time, ever since i11 came out. Basically, why not use Weapon (and now Power Customization) on all the NPC badguys out there?
Ideas include:
-Tinting Longbow Nullifiers' assault rifles in official Longbow colors of Bullseye Red and Camoflauge is for Sissies White.
-Tint the weapon colors of Tsoo bosses: Give Bronze Leopards bronze-colored claws, Copper Serpents either green normal spines or metallic copper metal spines, and change the color of katana-using bosses' swords to fit their themes (Black for NE, blue for electricity, red for fire, etc.)
-Tint Clockwork electrical attacks pink (blueside) and red (redside) as a hint towards what's actually powering them *braces self for the outcry on this one*
-Give Wyvern compound bows instead of the generic model, and give their bosses the laser sight version.
-Tint the force fields various critters use to look faction-specific (yellow-ish for Fake Nemesi, red for Crey Juggernauts, bright green for Rikti Guardians, etc.)
The biggest idea, and my original one, is aimed at the Warriors. They've been swinging the same generic weapons for so long now. Perhaps create a new model for Axe, Broadsword, and Mace for Warrior bosses, and let the Leigonairre badge unlock them for players? I'll admit I'm stumped on how to design a weapon that looks particularly "Warrior"-ish (Other than to tie bicycle streamers to it </obscurejoke>), but that's what interns are for, right?
