BELT of the Hive Queen is broken in its current state

There a Few huge issues with what you sold us and how it performs
Hopefully this is the right area to bring this up.

(Belt of the Hive Queen)

Yes Technically, if you have nothing on it does show the bugs; but if your goal is to tell person paying significate amounts of money on Microtransactions to
only use one cosmetic effect then You got me. This Microtransaction needs to be reworked so its compatible with the other microtransactions in the game and just equipment in general. I understand that sometimes effects like this can be difficult to implement and have unforeseen effects. That being said you say in the description that is shows bugs when drinking flasks and it just doesn't do that UNLESS you are basically naked in game.

GGG prides itself on having the best value for Microtransactions around; we had a whole discussion from Chris Wilson about the future of MTX and how he was finding ways to make us happier as consumers and supporters of POE. This microtransaction fails to meet the quality standards that were discussed in that talk. It doesn't work as expected and is not stated anywhere that it has limitations like this in its description. If I buy a headhunter MTX but it only works when I have no armor, weapon, or aura cosmetics enabled I would call it out as well.

Please think about reworking or fixing the (BELT of the Hive Queen) MTX

* YOU should be able to Force the insects to show and clip through any clothes you are warring. (make the insects 20%-40% bigger or just more colorful with brighter lights on them.) but right now most armor covers them up completely along with most MTX or you cant even see them because there so mat in color.
* You could always make the insects fly around you instead of sitting on you if you cant fix it the first way.
* you could remap the cosmetic effect of the bugs to a Character Effect and make the belt force the choice of character effect. Then you could scale the bugs to be bigger as you are a higher level thus becoming more visible.
* you could tell us in the description that it only works when not wearing other MTX effects or big armors so that its not just a LIE when we don't see anything because its covered up

P.S. I am trying to be constructive in my Feedback here because I love POE. I want it to succeed every single expansion I am one of the guys that buys the expensive supporter packs. this right here though is a perfect example of misleading consumers. you say you provide a cool effect for some money but we cant even see it because it doesn't behave correctly when interacting with equipment or other MTX.
