*I'm going to put the negatives aside for this thread, as there is enough threads for them.*
*I'm referring to the future change to purp/endgame gear, that will allow us to extract the base mods such as armouring from them, for those not in the know.*
Orange Gear - When I first read about the idea and plan for them, it was love at first sight.
Being able to look how you want, whether it be a sand peoples outfit, or an imperial space suit, it just sounded great. Once we got to retail however, it's like... look how you want till 50, and than don the end game gear, regardless of whether the design fits your tastes, simple because you it was the best open.
With the changes, it will be a lot less clone wars out there, with people having more freedom to look how they want, while remaining competitive at endgame. Social points will actually be worth grinding for as well.
So, yeah, you could say there are more urgent things that need fixing first, balance issues etc, but I think this is a very important change, and I'm pumped.
