I remember when this went in on Live. It was cool for a day until you realized everyone who had worked for a unique look lost it overnight.

Kinda like 6 year old character names. So, possible.

Do you really thing the look is lost? You still have a full set of green armor or whatever. Either way, there is a built in command to turn off the proper tinting.

Dear lord... I sound like someone defending custom weapon skins on Agnarr. I feel... dirty!! Still would vote for this though, doesn't modify the base texture.

I suppose when Velious launched, if original EQ team decided, "No new expansion... crap, we almost green-lit CATS ON THE MOON! What were we thinking...? Let's quit while we're ahead, wrap up our 'to-do' list on content and leave the servers locked, can do occasional dynamic world events within the defined boundaries of Norrath", then this would have made it in (along with some other stuff no doubt).

I don't think its such a big stretch, especially seeing as how there are no controls in place to prevent the texture crew from modifying / updating textures. If they really wanted to prevent that, could probably parse certain data points when loading texture to verify nothing was modified.
