Do you care to elaborate?

Too radical.

However, making multi-requirement gems socketable in sockets of either color would be great. For example EK could go in either blue or green, and gems will also get a bit more distinguishable, like this:

Well GGG, good for you! There you have the artwork :D

GJ!

The first is known to make random : bad crappy suggestion for any suggestion posted he sees

The second is another name i noticed somewhere : can't confirm if troll.. 80% he is.

What are you talking about, no one is trolling here. Please get out if you are not interested. The multi colored gem is actually a very interesting suggestion if you ask me.

I agree that thread is kinda troll, as removing socket color would break this meta game.

Like it or not. If they want to add some new color in the future removing color system and socket color is a must.

Imagine there are six different colors in the future and you are looking for a
"Red-Yellow-Blue-Green-Purple-Brown" socketed item!

That will be real hardcore right? Not.

I had the idea of removing socket colours altogether as well.
In other threads I argued against removing the colour bias from items, because then it would be harder for players who mainly want e.g. mainly blue sockets on their ES gear to get them, or str based characters to get mostly red etc.
But then I realized that the colour system doesn't really do anything for the game, except creating a currency sink for a currency we needn't have to sink if it weren't for the socket colours in the first place.
So, why NOT remove the socket colours but leave the gems' requirements in place, perhaps even make them a bit higher.
This way a "traditional" (meaning aligned to INT only) witch would still be able to use leap slam and not be trolled by socket colours but would also be restricted to use it at a low level or invest into str.

It would probably make the game easier, though, but I'm not sure by how much.

Easier - no. Less annoying - yes.
