Dump the Omega Upgrade spam and gold borders on items

The upgrade spam and gold borders on items prompting you to upgrade every time you click on your omega ship or any omega item is nauseating.

As a player that will keep "omega" status, it's very off-putting. It takes eve and makes it seem like it's focused all around $$...which has never been Eve once you're inside the game. Players, especially new players, need to focus on the game once they're logged in and not on being reminded to pay money at every click.

New players will see all the gold items on the market and constant upgrade spam and think it's pay to win. Many won't stay around long to figure out what the game actually is about. The gold item borders are unnecessary, players will find out what items they can use by their skills....just like we do on TQ today...we have the skills to use an item or we don't....we don't need gold borders to figure out alpha/omega.

If you want this to work you can't put omega states in front of people as often as you do (do you really think we need that many omega upgrade icons on the ship tree??). World of Warships uses a 'premium' account model. You know it's there, you know it's an option, but you aren't beaten over the head with it.

Clone states should be a big boon for the game, but not if you do it wrong and ruin the experience. So drop the gold borders and be more strategic in upgrade spam, or this could get ugly.
