You should figure out some kind of test to see what you can do.

Get on a team running at +2x8 and see if you can get them to complain that they have nothing to do because the warshade is wiping everything out. 
Oh and congrats on the market and IO success.

Gah, I was going to post a screenshot of a friend of mine who was close to doing the same. Grats Organica! Screenshot of your uber squid please.

But I thought casual people couldn't do that. If you purple your WS, casually or not, you end up being not-casual which creates a marketeering paradox!

Call me weird but for me purpling doesn't always make for the most effective build and it isn't always the most expensive.....but congrats on the achievement

I've IO'd more than 20 toons (not all of them are 50 quite yet) and I've only heavily invested in purples for a couple of them. That included my katana/regen scrapper and my fire/fire blaster.
As far as "casually"... erm... I bought most of the purple IO recipes about a month and a half ago, took about 3 weeks to collect them... no real farming required but significant marketing involved to account for the money spent... my War Shade has been around for about four years, I started playing her again in mid July and went from 33 to 50 in a few weeks. I tend to play several hours a night, sometimes run 2 or even 3 task forces in an evening, I know I'm not a casual player. ^_^
/em curses the failure to operate casually.

Survivability focus: This is generally done through defense.
Kill-ability focus: I made that word up, but essentially you want +recharge in heaps to be able to eatinate things.
Warshades are different in that they get their survivability from recharge bonuses, so purpling them is almost always the best way to go.

Picture, for what it's worth. ^_^
Was on a team tonight with a Peacebringer. Some people were asking about the difference between the two, and someone began explaining how high-end War Shades required a lot of expensive IOs but could be deadly awesome.
"I have the IOs," I said. "Can't vouch for how good my playstyle is." Although I've been playing War Shades a while, I think I'm okay at them. Reading through Dech's guide was like, yeah, I do that, yeah, I do that too....
So then this other guy kind of ignores my comment and keeps talking about what a "high end War Shade" could do, how complicated they were to play and all. He says, "They like to go for as much recharge as possible, so they can have perma Eclipse."
"Yeah, I'm at 183.75% global recharge," I said. That was the end of him telling me what a "high end War Shade" was like. ^_^

So... if I failed at "casually" purpling my War Shade, does it count if I purple some random casual player's War Shade?
I think I might make that my next project. ^_^ Hold a contest or something.

My Warshade on Triumph, Casual Player, has just enlarged the sgbase of "Your Markettears, they are delicious" SG. Though she is only 25 (with appropriate casual blazer and slacks) someday she will have purple IOs...and of course I only play her an hour or two at most, per week.
Still, the money comes in...I must be ebil or something. =(
Gratz Organica on your spiffy new purpled out Warshade!

Congratulations Organica!
I have a Lvl 50 Warshade, but have no idea how I want to build his Purple Build yet. When decide, I'll join you in Warshade Purpleness.
Have fun with your 'shade.

Awesome. Congrats! I can't ever seem to get into the playstyle of either of the 2 forms, tho i want to. 
Next project: a purple'd VEAT Praetorian-turned-Hero?
I'm actually working on my plan to purple someone else's casual War Shade. ^_^
I'm not sure exactly what contest I should hold... maybe have people post a picture of their warshade (level 50 or close to it) and a short paragraph about why they qualify as a casual player and why they deserve, nay, absolutely need to have all those shiny IOs. ^_^ Then maybe I'll pick out the best and figure out how to choose a winner from there.
Based on my own build I'm thinking... 5 sets of purple IOs (5 pieces each) -- all four damage types and stun (Absolute Amazement) which can be place in Gravetic Emanation, 5 Luck of the Gambler 7.5% global recharge IOs, and then maybe a few other goodies like a Numina unique (doesn't everyone need one?) and, I don't know, an Oblit set (at least 5 pieces), couple of Nucleus Exposures, couple of Steadfast Protection KB protection IOs, Performance Shifter Chance for Plus Endurance... that should get anyone well on their way to an awesome tri-form War Shade build no matter how they assemble it.
All crafted and ready to deliver. ^_^ I'm working on that part now.
I should probably post something in the Kheldian forum when I'm ready.

I'd suggest setting some minimum requirements for entry, and then choosing among qualified entrants randomly. Is there a way to poll character play stats? In other games there are commands that will show in the interface when your character was created and how many hours you've played it. Maybe you could set a limit of at least 6 months old with no more than 12 hours per month in-game?

The feeding frenzy that your contest will create will be absolutely delicious. I await it with baited breath.

Sounds fun. You should make them include a screenshot of their market interface as well as a screenshot talking to an M NPC(to get hours logged)

I have nearly all of the purple IOs bought and crafted already. ^_^ I have bids in for the LotG 7.5% and Numina unique, but none filled yet. Might have to buy those with merits, we'll see. Most of the other stuff I still have on hand, I think.

...I hit 50 on my War Shade Squiddy Kitty on Sunday, and promptly slotted 5 sets (5 pieces each) of purple IOs! (More than 5 actually; I have 2 pieces of the pet IO slotted as well).
So I've now purpled out a War Shade. What's left? Other than GR, of course.
I'm not sure how much more powerful I feel with the new sets, but I found I could have 3 pets out at once, where i couldn't do that before. And Hasten is perma'd I think.
