It would be cool if it was completely random rather than fixed

Yeah, we get enough randomness from enchanting as it is. If you went around collecting MR skins I'm pretty sure that people would complain about fading them or having to fight X dangerous NPC with Y incompetent characters for Z profit. Where Z = 0.

As opposed to getting no enchants at all?

I'd personally much rather have no enchants at all over MR. If we did randomize this, it would be best to randomize it such that all the enchants went to the same thing, so at least you'd only have to throw out ~1/4 of the skins.

Also, this seems like it might be a coder-level thing, which would suggest it might take a while even if D did agree with it.

I am not 100% on this but I recall EZE saying that during the creation of the dragonscales, they come innate with certain resistances. It would certainly be super awesome if these are extended to the other skins, especially in fur or equivalent due to them being least protective in armor value.

I vaguely remember this discussion, but I thought the imms were just saying that dragonscale has "advantages" over other armor types. I took that to mean it could be better than mithril because it's affected by MV. If it actually has resistances in it, I wish those could be detected somehow (e.g., via the identify spell).

I'm absolutely sure it is one of those ideas that's hardly something I was the first to suggest, but yes. I've been suggesting that skins come with enchants based on their source's race or some other predictable factor for some time now.

I think all credit should go to Grep.

Seconded

It doesn't matter where the credit goes as long as it's implemented.
