This has been mentioned before, but the last time I saw it noted was November, so I thought it might be safe to bring up again.

For example, a master artisan can craft special lenses, and the glasses might give +3 pistol (or carbine or rifle) accuracy (standard glasses for nearsighted people), or another pair might give +2 doctor experimentation or assembly(magnifying lens type glasses). The skill mods would need to be rather small to avoid upsetting the current economy of skill tapes and skill bonus items. However, it seems like a good idea.

However, skill mods aside, I think that glasses (even ones which were "worthless") would be a great accessory to add to the game, to allow people to further customize their look.

I could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure one of the SOE reps said something like: we're not adding glasses as craftables because it'd invalidate the specialness of the collector's edition buyers. *shrugs*

I thought I heard once that they were going to allow glasses to be craftable, just not soon after release to make the special edition actually special.

Maybe they could keep the special edition glasses and allow us, maybe with help from other professions, to craft some lesser glasses. Simple plainer looking ones. They might still be popular but not interfere with the specialness of the special edition ones then.

I bought the special edition for my alt, and I have to say I'd honestly rather have craftable, plainer glasses. Especially the metal-frame glasses are just so…gaudy. *sighs* Oh well. I for one would feel no less special if everyone had glasses. After all, I still have my pewter Zabrak

yeah, I dont want you vulgar commoners biting my aristocratic shades style. Hehe.

They could give you contact lenses though. And they wouldn't even need to add art for that.

I got all the bells & whistles because I wanted it. I'm a goon for all that extra goody stuff, especially the art book!
I would like it if we could make any kinds goggles/glasses, preferably something cooler than the SE ones.

i have the Collectors box and i love the glasses. i feel that the devs can add glasses as craftable, just give use something else. and if that something else will become craftable, then give the collectors setsa new item.

Actually, that gives me an idea... probably for Master Artisan rather than Tailers, per se.

Give us schematics for power-ups for glasses. You have to have the Special Edition glasses to use them. Range modifiers and range extenders for 100 shots... could be weapon specific or not.

Heyyy, that's not a bad idea—maybe we could convince them to rotate new content in that way. "So, now that you've given everyone glasses you'll have to make the CE folks feel special some other way…how about capes?" and so on.

I agree it would be nice to see some glasses or shades that are craftable. I don't know how many special edition boxes they sold. I play on the Euro servers and I don't think they ever released the SE in europe so to see people wearing them is not very common. I'm wondering how common they are in the US servers?

Would be also nice to have more headwear

Giving the people who bought the special edition something extra is ok, as long as it's given to everybody in the end. If they made it a regular thing, say every 3 months (Publishes?) they added something extra and after those 3 months everyone then got that item. Maybe they could make it a normal item to be made but only SE peeps could use/equip it?

I didn't buy the special edition not because it was too expensive but because I didn't know it existed. If I had then I would of got hold of one. I'm sure many people are in the same position so they really ought to do something like this or give us different normal glasses.

I'm a sucker for special/collector's editions. But I certainly could care less if other people had glasses too. If they feel the need to make sure those of us with the SE feel special, just make it so the style of glasses we have aren't craftable.
