[b]When the beta had launched for this game all vendors[/b] within the tower, more specifically the faction vendors,[b] had an alloted amount of [/b]faction [b]shaders along with the rest of their inventory[/b]... [b]On top of that "Eva Levonte"[/b] (A.K.A. Woman who torments me with "refreshed" stock of the same dagum stock as last week)[b] Had an inventory that would constantly update and had a variety of shaders to purchase[/b]...
[b]Now [/b]the game being out for over a month and[b] a majority of players are wearing the[i] EXACT[/i] same shaders because nothing is available to us[/b]... [b]the game was supposed to be make yourself legend, [i]Not [/i]homogenize every character until they all look the exact same...
[/b]
[b]I understand some loot and the necessity for keeping it RNG based but [i]SHADERS!!![/i][/b]...[b]Shaders are expressions of our personal taste and preference[/b]...there isn't some majical OP shader that needs a nerf nor buff...its a SHADER...and [b]people should be able to dye their armor to their liking[/b]...
[b]Shaders shouldnt be treated like an exotic item [/b]([i]unless they have truly exotic traits such as "Tron" lighted armor, or hive shaded armor with glowing green visor tints, in which case these could be harder to ascertain but should still be ATTAINABLE[/i])[b] and shouldnt be left to RNG[/b] [b]or the [/b]forsaken [b]Cryptarch to hand out[/b] in one of his oh so gracious "care packages" [b]for leveling him up[/b]...
If anyone else is sincerely dissapointed or simply fed up and would like access to more shaders [b]please sign/post here[/b]...
I thank you all for reading this as well ^-^

Edited by TalliiFennec: 10/20/2014 6:37:01 PMAgreed. There are what, something around 50 (*edit* 108 according to RequiemPrime) shaders in the game at the moment? When I started the game, I was disappointed that I would have to wait until level 20 to customize the way that I looked (little did I know at the time that 99% of the game is the post-level 20 grind) and since then, It's been absolutely aggravating having access to the few shaders that one can reasonably attain. The four shaders from the clothier in the tower, combined with the additional four or five you constantly receive from the crucible and strike missions, make up only what, one tenth of the shaders in the game? I have 5 of one kind of shader, three of another, but I only have maybe 15% of all the shaders confirmed to exist in the game? Perhaps the most frustrating of all is the fact that obtaining the shaders seems to be nothing more than random chances for certain events, such as leveling up reputation with groups. I can't seem to find any well documented information on how to get any of the shaders, since they all seem to just kind of show up. At least the chatterwhite shader was the raid reward and happens to be my favorite... Please fix this Bungie. At the very least, make the acquisition process a bit more systematic so that we know what we're doing.
