My republic mercenary is wearing Rakata purple gear at 344, there are no pieces under 344 and my 2 relics are at 344 & my 2 implants are at 340 everything is equipped with gold 77 augs. I have written to customer service about this issue and feel that I have given the runaround by chandra. So since I'm currently at 343 and cannot reach 344 it seems to me that the overall rating system programming is flawed.
