Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

Different situation though, because it's meant to be one consistent (and recently invented) device that you're using in combination with an assortment of guns you've acquired from other sources.

To continue your car analogy, it's not that all cars ever manufactured look like Model T, rather that it is the equivalent of 1908 and you have a new and shiny Model T that you are using all the time.

Even if it's supposed to be something fairly recent invention wise I doubt every user is going to keep it looking or even want to keep it looking as fresh off the assembly line the day they got it. Someone will have put stickers on it or painted some graffiti on it. Maybe it has some scuff marks. Just like with a car a person might want to change out the hubcaps their car came with; with something else that fits their style. Slap on a "I'm a proud parent of an honor student" bumper sticker equivalent. Or hot rod flames down the sides. You know for that person who loves Hades soul fragment purple. Or you know maybe Inventingway somehow got a hold of it and slapped on some LED lights on the outside.

Sure, but actual customisation requires you to really own one single item, whereas this is a combination of two things: by lore, a single item, and by the way the game functions, identical copies of the item attached to every weapon.

To be able to customise it, they would have to totally rearrange how their system handles the equipment.

Which I understand and probably why they have repeatedly said hiding them or removing them is a no can do. Why I am in the could they at least change in color camp. I'm willing to accept that at least how they currently are the devs probably unable to give us an option to remove or hide them. I as I have said just want them to stop looking the same way they always have is all. I doubt I'm the only one who would also settle for what could be seen as a compromise if the box could match the gun in color scheme at least.

They already do change colour if the weapon is dyeable.
