Making it a copy but an elemental variant will reduce token donations. I think many players will take this as a reason to not go for any of the token versions. Instead, what I proposed was taking the THEME and IDEAS and making a set using those, and making it a different element. And staff could even out their own spin on it. But the community set would need to be scaled back. As an example, let's say in the giftmaster set has a new idea for a status and the proposal had it inflict oer hit up to 4 hits. The community set then, would need to be hits/misses and be some melee % based on that.. meaning the giftmaster set likely could use a 4 hit armor for greater power over the community set. Any suggestion that involves making the community set deliberately weaker to "incentivize" donations would fly in the face of previous staff statements on premium items. They are not, and have not, ever been in the market for making premium items deliberately more powerful. Premium items tend to be the experimental/time consuming stuff. Being experimental, the effects are liable to being weaker or stronger than average, people just hyperfocus on the stronger than average effects, ignore the massive amount of premium items that were weak and/or unpopular, and presume that premium = power is an acceptable stance for staff to take. Besides, tweaking the community set to be purposefully weaker would actually take more time than just doing elemental variants. Further, I don't even want them to take the set and put their own spin on it without making it deliberately weaker. Anything that can give the appearance of "You donate for more powerful gear", regardless of intent, I'm not in favor of. And again, I'm not AQ staff, I'm not interested in arguing the financial aspect of this, especially with a player that knows about as much as I do about that. Staff will take that into consideration, I'm sure. If they want to comment specifically on that to help guide player feedback, that's up to them.
