Purple I.O.'s and other I.O. idea's

While I do like the idea of being able to Catalyze more IOs to superior versions, common IOs just aren't the right type for such a purpling treatment.
The reason there are purple sets is because they have set bonuses and locked at L50. They hold exception to the 'set bonuses shutdown three levels below it's level' rule present in other IOs and enhancements as one of the perks of a superior set. Additionally the values for those set bonuses are greater than regular IO set bonuses and will always be active even if you exemplar down to L1.
You are suggesting something that can already be done in the form of 'Enhancement Boosters', combined with common IOs to increase their base values by 5% up to 25% their base value when five are used.
Even if commons could be purpled, it wouldn't have any effect. IO enhancement values diminish but do not shut down when you exemplar, even for purples. The purple status just means 'greater values and never-shutting down set bonuses'.
Now if you suggested for there to be superior versions of existing IO sets? I'd be very intrigued!
Edit: I ran the numbers in a calculator, and 1.25x 42% for your recharge IO would end up as 52.5%, that's pretty much half a percent short of your suggestion with five enhancement boosters. Meaning your suggestion pretty much is already in the game!

I very much like the idea of catalysts being able to be used on uncommon and rare IO sets. Even if they don't boost IOs values or the set bonuses, but just allow those bonuses to be usable at any level, it'd be worth it!
I would like to see the normal I.O.'s that are not sets to have a purple level. With that they can be upgraded just like a regular purple I.O. (Not the store bought ones) They could also have a limit to how many you can have slotted in a single power I would say no more than three). But for those I.O. sets that 5 Io's in them and you want to add a 6th I.O. then add a purple recharger that would have a recharge rate of 42% it would have a rate of 53%.
Also I would love to see I.O. sets for like power boost and some of the healing ones. There are no such sets. Like adrenal boost. I am sure there are others that could have a set made for them.
Also I believe there are some powers that have no purples at all. I would like to see purple sets there as well.
These are only suggestions!
