I originally posted this in the Update 36 thread, but because I'd like more like-minded people to chime in on this issue, I've reposted it here. I understand that appearance is not as important to some as to others, but some of us think that the world of the Matrix should include at least one pair of black shades. 
Thank you for your respect.
One minor thing that I'm not pleased with:
Stop changing my glasses!
I used to wear the nice, black ones provided by having an Archivist's book equipped. That, of course, was nerfed for some reason (confusion related to the glasses, I guess). So, I took off my Widow's Moor Lenses and started wearing plain old White Sector Sunglasses (The same as what you'd get with the book, and one of the first glasses choices in the game). That was all fine and well until I logged in this morning to find that they had inexplicably gone rainbow.
All I want, is a nice, male pair of black sunglasses. It completes my character. Now, I'm not saying we should get rid of the rainbow shades, as they're actually kind of a cool effect.
But rather than changing the appearance of an existing item, could we just keep the old version and add the new? Would that be so terrible?
I'm sure a lot of people don't care what they're wearing while they play, and they won't notice or mind this change at all... But some of us like to look a particular way, in the spirit of the Matrix, and when you suddenly change the look of certain items on us... Well, it's a bit frustrating.
This is the first time I've ever bothered to post a complaint like this with a patch. As I said, it may seem like a silly thing to some people... But hey, I pride myself in having created a certain look for my character, and I need a pair of black shades for that look. I can't believe there aren't a single pair left in the Matrix (unless you're a female of course. Their shades remain pretty cool).
