Again I ask, after using a vaal orb on an item, does that mean you aren't even able to use armorers/whetstones to improve quality? That would seem a little silly. I kind of assume you won't be able to use chromatics, but I then wonder, what happens to the current socket colors when you use a vaal orb? Does it keep the original and make some white, or does it randomize them and then make some white? If the latter, these orbs would be pretty useless on 6links unless you were loaded with eternals.

Currency. The word Chris used to describe the items you CANNOT use on corrupted items was "Currency".

Because I keep seeing this question crop up, allow me to clarify for those who didn't finish reading Chris's sentence:

corrupted items cannot have further currency applied to them

You cannot use the following on corrupted items:
-Albino Rhoa Feathers
-Scrolls of Wisdom
-Portal Scrolls
-Orbs of Regret
-Glassblower's Baubles
-Armourer's Scraps
-Blacksmith's Whetstones
-Orbs of Augmentation
-Orbs of Transmutation
-Chromatic Orbs
-Orbs of Alteration
-Jeweller's Orbs
-Orbs of Chance
-Cartographer's Chisels
-Orbs of Scouring
-Orbs of Fusing

-Blessed Orbs
-Chaos Orbs
-Vaal Orbs
-Regal Orbs
-Gemcutter's Prisms

-Exalted Orbs
-Eternal Orbs

Anything that is not on this list can probably be used on corrupted items.
Items pending further testing:
-Alteration Shards
-Transmutation Shards

I'll get back to you on these.

and by having exclusive, otherwise unavailable cosmetic rewards

A lot of ppl care. A lot would like to see GGG make more out of the game but even if that can't happen ppl still care and express themselves--maybe not the care-less like you.

I care because I dislike games with limited, one-of-a-kind rewards or items. I already find legacy items to be a terrible concept, and now we get cosmetic stuff that is completely and permanently unavailable to the vast majority of the playerbase. Recolored stuff is fine, but this doesn't seem to fall in that category.

I'd have preferred a dungeon that is very hard and that you may spend months on defeating, but then everyone can obtain the reward. Most people would still never get it (just like most people never complete a level 78 map, and the dungeon will be harder), but everyone could work toward that goal if they wished. I shouldn't have to take off work for two weeks or spend 100s on a RMT site (those rare colored masks on Steam went for hundreds, so people's willingness to pay whatever it takes to get very rare cosmetic items is definitely there) to have a chance -- and neither is an option for me that I would seriously consider.

I just think the premise is flawed and shows a disregard for the playerbase as a whole and demonstrates a design approach I find unappealing. If you see that differently, it's fine. Go ahead and give them some money. I certainly won't be spending any more if they continue in this direction. If you like it, support the direction with money.
