Currently in 6.0, mods are ADDITIVE which means that players add mods to increase their stats, but this is seen as confusing for casual/new players, but critical for those players that want to maximize their playstyle/performance. My suggestion is that you make all gear moddable, BUT, the mods are changed to be MODIFIERS/ADJUSTMENTS where you increase one stat by sacrificing others. EXAMPLE: Current Alacrity Augment 73, adds +95 Alacrity Rating, +126 Power, +126 Endurance Suggested Alacrity Augment 73: +95 Alacrity Rating, -45 Power, -50 Endurance In this way, mods are no longer a must-have and do not lock out the casual/new players since they are not needed and do not increase the gear. They do, however, allow advanced players to customize their playstyle/performance by adjusting their stats. Mods should also by locked to the same iRating of the gear to prevent gaining advantage, i.e only mods of iRating 276 can be inserted into iRating 276 gear. This will also give crafting professions new recipes.

If any of the team still follow this thread, I may have a solution for this problem - in theory. So far, this issue has occurred a total of 9 times, but only on my level 75 characters. Therefore, I assume this only occurs on max level characters, and if that is the case, then an easy solution would be to put these items into the character's renown stash which would cause the extraction of these items to re-roll the "unidentified" slots (probably the re-execution of the method in code that does this). The only challenge to this would be if the meta-data on the items records the characters that it dropped for, otherwise you would need to pick the most recent renown character to re-insert the item into the stash. Hope this helps you.

I just received 6 items with "Unidentified" mods on them from Veteran The Battle of Ilum and Veteran The False Emperor. The items were armor and weapons. This sucks as I am trying to gear but this gear is absolutely useless which I didn't expect from boss drops. I did raise a bug ticket in game but the reply I got was:
