RE'ing weapons does work. As a 400 armstech, I have multiple blue and purple weapon recipes from RE'ing. That being said, it's hardly ever worth it to bother trying to learn the blue and purple weapon recipes, even at level 50. They still don't have mod slots (barring an augment slot on the rare crit), meaning there's no room for upgrading their already sub-par stats. To get the blue recipe for the Fusion X-Blaster (Armstech 400), it took me about 60 RE attempts. The 3 purple recipes branching off of that blue recipe took approximately 10-15 RE attempts each. Good luck if you decide to stick with Armstech, but IMHO it's a nearly worthless profession.

This is absolutely stupid. On top of all the other bugs with operations, the loot is completely ****ed up. Regardless of loot setup (master looter, round robin, FFA), loot was always assigned to members. That's bad enough, but it was always assigned to the same people. Jugg loot to one person. Sorc loot to one person. Merc loot to one person. That person never changed. The third "boss" in EV dropped a chest. Only one person could loot the chest. After 15 minutes, the chest "respawned" and another person could loot it. We had to have it respawn 7 times for everyone to even get their commendations. What in the *********** **** were the in-house testers doing for these operations? It completely baffles my mind that a game could be released in this way. I can't believe I paid 60 dollars to beta test their raids for them.
