I bet all the QQ is coming from the fresh 50's who can't be arsed to change their lvl 45 gear... and I barely see anyone using adrenals/stims/medpacs...
Thinking out loud? Way to go, mate! I'm pretty upset about it too, but that doesn't deserve a specific thread. It's loose-loose case for them, but if I would be among the management, I'd definitely vote for a roll back!
The problem is that it DOESN'T exist! I pray to see it as a quest reward at level 50. But it really bothers me... my companion uses a weapon that cannot be upgraded.
