Default New Customized Weapon Looks

I think it would be cool (also harder for people to scam) if when you customize a weapon the name would change like greens do (example Tanzits Cleaver). So if you have a poisonous flatbow bow and you your in-game name is Thorn Spreader the name of the bow after you customize would be Thorn Spreaders Flatbow. The color of it could also change. Like maybe red. Any thoughts?

Not sure if the name thing will fly, but the changing of the color sounds good.

interesting idea, it would be nice if they just threw the word 'customized' into the name so it would be 'customized poisonous flat bow' which would tell people in your party that you do extra damage when you just ctrl+click your weapon.

yea, maybe turn the words to red so it stands out in a trade to[maybe just turn the rest of the words, besides the name to red, since the green items thing...]
then we would be getting odd weapon names... I'm welding Your sundering flatbow of shelter!

Not hard.

Yeh, but generally people dont notice that and this scam, as nooby as it was is still going around i hear, and it'd just stand out more in a different colour or give it a special name

...or just make customized weapons and equipment untradeable, which is what they should have done during beta.

Wouldnt it be simpler if there was a warning letting you know when a customized weapon is being offered?
