Can this be a thing Bioware?
Allow anyone to purchase the Obroan gear, as long as they have the comms to purchase it. The gear has a level 55 requirement, so they wouldn't be able to wear it anyways. Plus, it allows you to level through pvp and not feel like you are wasting comms/time. (or forcing you to convert them to ranked comms.)
Note; I know about the level 20 and 40 pvp sets, but there is basically nothing to purchase with them above 40, thus once you cap, you must convert to ranked comms, buy consumables to sell or use, waste your comms, or just not pvp.
I'd love to be able to work on my pvp set as I level, and I bet plenty of other people would as well.
I see very little reasons against it, if any. Although if you know of any, feel free to post them. Just don't flame anyone in the thread for having a differing opinion.
