Wouldn't it be great to go to the HoH and see someone you knew there selling recipes?

I personally would like to see Rommil selling me recipes. I'd suggest that once you own all of the gear a "hero" sells in its final form, or perhaps know all of the recipes that a "hero" sells, you would be added to a list of random names that each hero would be selected from. Your text would be the same as the default, but you'd be wearing your current armor, and it'd have your name.

Of course, only do this if it isn't too much trouble. It doesn't sound that hard... and it'd give T3 players something to strive for.
