Blue tint is horrendous. Should be an option to turn it off.

The subject of Blue Tint has been brought up several times before, but I figured we could consolidate all of the info here, so lets have some serious thoughts/comments about this.

The ONLY thing that we are asking for/suggesting, is a way for individual players to remove or change the (amount of) Blue Tint, and so far we've come up with a couple ways:
A.) Put an option under the Graphics menu where we can turn it off or on.
B.) Put a slider in similar to the Darkness slider. (Credited to Slayour98)
C.) For those willing/wishing to spend more money, Gunnar Gaming Glasses may be a solution. (Credit to Hasonator75)
Credits to Treyman1115 for initializing/prompting the consolidation attempt.
