Arrow Give Gold and Collector weapons/shields/wands/etc prefixes?

As you all well know, green items have their own names when you call out what you're holding. "I'm wielding a Victo's Blade and a Malinon's Shield."

With Gold items, why doesn't it say "I'm wielding a Rare Sundering Shadow Blade of Fortitude and a Rare Shadow Shield."?

For Collector items, why doesn't it say "I'm wielding a Collector's Vampric Axe of Trollslaying and a Collector's Crimson Carapace Shield."

Would/should Uncommon items also get the name?


Edit/Update:

With the recent May 2nd patch where drops show up as purple/gold. They could also add to this idea by allowing weapon text to have the prefix and show up with the colors as well.

Hope this is a nice idea, as I would love to see it added. :P

I think that would make the already long-winded names that much more long-winded. Besides who uses anything besides gold items anyways? :P

My collectors' Defensive Wicked staff of shelter is offended.

I don't think its a completely necessary thing honestly..If you really want to see something that a person has, ask.

I'd really appreciate about 1000 things before this as well.

I see this as something minor but very easy to implement. I don't care for any of the new greens either. None of the skins I'd like to see or any decent mods. I'm getting tired of vamp or double adrenaline on hit chance.

If it's easy to implement, it would be a nice feature.

Bah, just more of a reason to end up wasting the first 20 seconds of a mission while everyone shows off their crap.

Updated original post with an expansion idea based on the May 2nd color drop patch.

Good idea since the drops are now colored to reflect their rarity.

Friendly bump. Surely people would like to show off their custom made weapons a bit more.

I don't think it should show the rarity as another word, just color the existing wording based on the rarity. (IE: Blue, Purple, Gold or Green)

However, I like the general idea.
