I hope Bungie completly overhauls player customization in D2 (Destiny)

I managed to snag a Jovian Guard Chestpiece yesterday, but was frustrated by how Shaders assign colors to different parts of the armour an such arbitrary fashion.

It highlighted a complaint I've had about Destiny since Day 1: Aesthetic customization takes a back seat to the player-investment-loot-systems that are apparently required to keep people playing this game.

And that sucks. I was able to make my Spartan wear all-red armour within 1 minute of creating my profile in Halo. In Destiny, it took 12 months.

Here's a few things I'd like Dest2ny to rework:

• Shaders: Dump 'em. Let us tweak the colour, luminosity, patterns and material for each piece of gear to our heart's content. RGB sliders would be nice.
  
  
• Emblems: I like the way we can acquire unique emblems as proof of achievements in-game, but dislike that we can't customize them AT ALL. Bring back the Halo color and mix-matching background system. Why not?
  
  
• Armour: At the very least, give us some sort of transmog system that lets us "infuse" an armour piece's appearance into another with better perks. A second "aesthetic slot" to complement the currently existing "functionality slot" would be better, as it doesn't require any sort of commitment on the player's part... unlike:
  
  
• Chroma: Speaking of commitment, who thought this was a good system? It's overly complicated and discourages experimentation. Kill it with fire, and just add Chroma as another trait we can customize with the others I listed earlier.

Anything else people would like to see?
