Reduce the TT value of high TT clothes!
It will give all players more selection in the customization of their avatars without having to lock-in so many peds into the TT value.
The TT cost of clothing is especially important because full TT of the item is required for them to look their best. Due to the high cost of many articles of clothing, most avatars aren't able to customize their looks as they would like. A lot more selection and variety would be available to all players in Entropia if the high TT value of many clothes could be reduced. Especially with colouring and texturizing many of these items like coats. Players could then afford to own more than one, and change their outfits more frequently!
Lots of clothes are low TT, and many new ones being introduced are also low TT, which is good for everyone. Some of the older clothes which have a higher TT is what this post is referring to mostly.
Here are some examples of really high tt clothes (In Red) versus their low TT counterparts (In Green)
------------------------
- Cognac Coat 209 PED (This is the most popular coat ingame)
- Master Coat 130 PED
- Holiday Coat 5 PED
------------------------
- Racer Shades 162 PED
- Bono Shades 150 PED
- Tropical Shades 0.50 PED
------------------------
- Rancher Hat 89 PED
- Feodora 102 PED
- Holiday Hat 8 PED
-------------------------
- Ellen Evening gown 246.50 PED
- Foxy High Stilettos 199 PED
- Athenian tunic 8 PED
.... Etc
This would be a great improvement overall:
And follows with other improvements that have already been made:
- Just as removing the shop fees made a huge difference
- Just as lowering the TT cost to place Shop signs on the walls
- Just as lowering the TT on makeup masks
Another benefit would be that once the TT is reduced, players would be getting back the TT from the clothes they already have, so they could expand their wardrobe, or just have some extra peds to hunt and play!

Veteran Appreciation/Cost to Play
- As promised in the 2013 State of the Universe Address, MindArk implemented several changes and features that helped to reduce the overall cost to participate in Entropia Universe, including:
- Average TT returns were increased across the board for hunting, mining, crafting and other activities.
- Removal or lowering of many unpopular fees, such as the armor equipping fee.
- Increased the unlimited item tiering speed.
- The minimum condition of most items lowered to 3%, freeing up a large number of PED, especially for owners of older UL weapons.
- Reduced the volatility of many activities, especially for lower level avatars.
- Decay and ammo consumption were removed when using a weapon not aimed at a valid target.
