This was never apparent to me because until I got to Pirate Legend I didn't buy many Ship items, instead I was saving up for those Legendary sets. And after buying the Legendary Hull+Sails I must say that I am very disappointed.
Sure I mistook them for the first year Pirate Legend reward but they cost 600.000 together and there is no glow, really? Thats more of a personal problem though. Whats really bugging me in general is that so many skins don't change the Ship that much. Like if you change your sails the Mast never changes only on a few exceptions. Same for the hull you buy an awesome color and expect it to look cool but once you are on the ship the deck looks boring as usual.
I mean its kinda sad that I prefer a cheap Kraken set over my hard grinded Legendary set simply because it changes the ship completely.
Would be nice if you guys could give if us more coloring options.
