[SUGGESTION] Rework of the 'Skin Transfer' Microtransaction

For those who have never bought or used a Skin Transfer, it's a mxt which consumes a base weapon or armor item, and applies its appearance to another item of the same type.

Afterwards you can remove the Skin Transfer to get the base item back and remove the appearance from the item it was applied to, but the Skin Transfer is lost and you need to buy another one.


Suggestion

Make Skin Transfers non-consumable items which permanently assume the appearance of a base item without consuming it. Afterwards you apply them to items like you would any other armor or weapon cosmetic from the store.


Reasoning

1. This way the player knows they're actually buying something they can keep on their account. More people will buy them, and they'll likely buy more of them since it would effectively be a way for the player to create their own collection of base game cosmetics.

2. Character gear is always being switched out and upgraded, and no one is going to be buy dozens of individual skin transfers for the lifetime of one or more characters.

3. The succession of new leagues ultimately makes skin transfers as they are even more temporary and a waste of money to anyone except whales.
