So i was thinking about what i've seen in pvp recently. Every pirate has special "non auction gear" that give power cards.
So why not have gear for companions?
Here's an idea: Bonnie anne. Her hat could be farmed for by bosses, and you can equip various gear for her. There would be two types of gear, auction and non auction. Auction give good extra stats, whilst non-auction gear gives power cards. Have you wanted to use a companion like Ridolfo in pvp, only he has no powers (without training crit strike)? Well there's that problem fixed. However, the gear has the same rating as special non auction boss loot for pirates. Bonnie anne's hat could give her: "Frenzied Shot", a 1X damage aoe in the X formation. You can also stitch your companions clothes, to give them a stylish look with deadly stats. (Gold for members-500- crowns for non members-50-).
She can also change her weapon, maybe "Highlanders Majestic Gun" which is obtainable via Guy fox in bonnie's last promotion, which will give the power "Jumping Excecution", a 1x damage single target attack that works at infinite range, which is a Companion only Power.
And El toro: His various outfits may be either: "Champions Guantlet" which gives Champions Return, an Extremely Rare attack that deals damage equal to that dealt to el toro, so if 1500 damage has been dealt to him, he will deal 1/2 of that damage to the attacker (750) and is farmable via the samoori in "The tower of the sword" instance in his last promotion.
His boots could give him 9Agility and 7 damage, plus the power "Tyranous Tyrany Tike" Which is a special Companion only power that does 1X damage, and increases his damage by 25% for 2 rounds.
Companion only powers are powers that only companions use, and are uniquely designed for them only.
There are various options out there! However, a companion will never get a power that pirates can use. Also, companions cannot get a totem, ring, or necklace slot, as to not complicate them with 7 powers from their gear.
What do you think? Would this work in pirate101? Would you farm for the non auction gear, or go for the easy to get gear from the bazaar. Tell me what you think! Any positive advice is appreciated :-)

one thing messes it up though. if gears for companions are released, you wouldnt be able to change it. promotions already got that covered. not to criticize, but i wouldnt want anymore farmable items. that would just make pvp farm to win (and if it already is, farm more to win)
