Does it matter if your companion is wearing gear or not at the time the new expansion takes effect? Would it be wise to strip the gear off all your companions before that? Also, since the mods are being changed will they be stripped off the gear or just adjusted and left in the slots? And what happens to Droid armor since it can't be worn anymore? Does it just disappear because if that's the case we should be told so.
Personally, I would like to see some more clarification so I can decide whether or not to sell my old gear and droid armor, or if I should strip out the mods....etc.
