There are quite a few different aspects of you post here Tephra, some I am in agreement with and some I find myself disagreeing with. So lets unpack this.
This is something which was not in mind when the suggestion was conceived, only to be able to put cages around followers for RP value and easthetics. This is one hypothetical aspect which I would be happy to leave in Funcom’s hands.
It is certainly probable. Although perhaps there would be some baseline pieces and then some reskins on the Bazaar.
As far as the Bazaar goes you are preaching to the converted and the zealous here. I have provided feedback about the pricing on the BLB numerous times, which is so utterly overpriced I can not decide if it is disgraceful or comical. Perhaps both. In fact I started the Poll on its prices to pass on the feedback. But that leads me to this point.
And this is where we disagree. As much as I am apalled by the price gouging on the Bazaar, I will never lose my drive to suggest cool items, as I still love Conan Exiles in spite of the montization and wish to see the game shine as bright as it possibly can.
