Everybody knows about the last edition to the salvage kit where you can salvage a specific item and it has a 50% chance of dying on you right? Well I think for a special price of 25k or higher, you can purchase a 10 use set up kit where it reduces that 50% chance of dying to 25% chance. Therefore you have a 75% chance of keeping your item (and if you look at the statistics on 75% with things like lightning reflexes, etc. it's pretty high).
Some people may think this only supports the rich.... Well uuhhhh..... They worked for that money let's just say that or they paid real money for it. Either way, they worked for that money somehow and they deserve it (and do not say anything about scamming or pickpocketing or whatever).
So yeah.. that's my idea.

Prediction:
Just for funzies, I'm gonna predict on the votes (they're probably 100% wrong)

68% NO
25% YES
7% Not mentioned

And don't comment on why I predicted a high number of noes. Things just end up that way...

Kind of a good idea in a sense, but I wouldn't believe that it would happen. It would just promote the idea of the richer getting even rich by being able to salvage that perfect mod and be able to re-sell the rare skin to increase economy past what the regular few hours here and there players could afford.

Um not all people with riches earned their gold, getting a cookie cutter build and farming for days may take time but I would hardly call it earning the cash. Yes some people earned their money but I don't think we need to add this, you can already reduce the risk of destroying the item by getting treasure hunter and wisdom titles, so if the rich really want this then they can go pay someone to Id their weps or go on chest runs. Good idea, but sorry /notsigned

I agree that it would just make things easier for the rich. There are lots of people who work for their money but haven't been able to get as rich as some other people. Others, on the other hand, don't care about hoarding money, but instead use it to attain other things (like collecting armor sets, or capping elites). It just seems like you're saying everyone else in the game is less deserving than the rich?

Otherwise I like the idea, but a price of 25 k is just too much.

it seems that not many people are agreeing to this =/

And those with high level treasure hunter and wisdom titles would have 100% chance of salvages every time.

This goes completely against what GW is. No one can buy a "better" anything. A max sword is a max sword regardless of any vanity skin.

The whole idea is just dumb.
