Grand Charms -- does look any matter?!

Hi All,

recently got a couple of skiller grand charms (obviously not for my main character), and every then and now got such question in trades created for them: "what is the skin?"
Does it really matter anything how do they look like? I mean, stats rng is a big mess already, what's the point getting them in a "favored" skin?!D

Did I miss something, or what the hell is wrong with these people?

I think some people just want to recognize the charms faster;

With grand charms it doesn't seem as important, but let's say your resistance/life small charms are all 1 skin, and your mf small charms are all another 1 skin, then you can swap "mf" to "survivability" easily without checking them out.

Perhaps some people also just want it for the looks too, but the closer you get to GG the least picky people are, I suspect. With random skiller with no second mod it's easy to be picky because they're everywhere and quite cheap.

It's the same Principle as color-coordinating your jewels. It makes no difference whatsoever in terms of function. But if you're gonna dish out

Ber+ for a perfectly rolled charm, it better also look the way you want it to.

It’s kinda like half the crap my wife does in life. Everything has to look a certain way. It’s like the decorative plates that go underneath the actual dinner plates. It serves no purpose other than to look nice and drive me nuts

Not Charm related but the same topic: skin of the ring.

My personal favourite

Raven Frost, its colors are corelated to frost etc. I very like it

There should be some cube recipe to change the appearance of a jewel/ring/charm, to some other random skin.

It would not break game balance, and it will give an extra dimension to another thing we can get addicted to

Cosmetics will always be a thing.

Thanks for the replies, but to me (especially considering reply contents), looks like some people have waaay too much time (or waaaaay too smol brain -- no offense)

In defense of the people who value aesthetics, the end-game goals can be as arbitrary as whatever you want them to be. If people want to run 15k

Travincal runs, or 3k nm andy runs, its up to them.

The flexibility upon completion of the main quests (let be farming/collecting, pvp or your custom goal) is what makes Diablo so robust with time.

It's a flex and pleasing. There is not much to do in diablo 2 except perfecting your character. At one point when you are starting to get done. You make up things like this to perfect your character further and have something to rest your eyes on that does not give you and headache.

Exactly, once you have everything you need and you're literally just farming and trading in pursuit of perfection, why not be particular about what your inventory looks like? It's all arbitrary anyway.

This is the reason why the game remains popular after two decades. You can always tune your inventory.

It's always going to matter to someone.

After all, I farmed 2 fucking week for this shit looking enigma.
