Totally agree with you @tropicallazerbeams
The legendary weapons in WoW (for example), with their special models and VFX really made you feel special and powerful for owning one.
Frankly, I don’t think that something like that will happen in Boundless. On the one hand because those items usually require their own special models etc. and the developers already have their work cut out getting other models done. On the other hand because the developers are all about that "Everything is equally good, just different "nonsense.
I can put your mind at ease. A while ago a developer said that it might work somewhat like this:
(might be outdated tho)
The only thing we’ll get in that regard is a pair of armrings, afaik
PS:
Still salty about that one
