Honestly I wouldn't even care if we just forfeit the stats on the crysytal completely, it really wouldn't be a huge loss. Color crystal needs to be cosmetic. All of the advertising for the pre-orders (game and razer) and comments by the devs and media prior to release led me and friends to believe that the crystals were, in fact, cosmetic. This is largely why we preordered to get our unique crystals.
At a bare minimum there needs to be a trade in vendor for those of us with preorder/razer crystals, who were promised a cosmetic in-game item, that we can trade any crystal we have for a same-stat crystal with our deserved color.
