I have 6 toons half of them around 30ish, I have a armormech that I can churn out some nice purple items - made a chest piece 4 stat with aug slot open on Emp Armormech, sweet I'm thinking this will be awesome on my new 'mando - mailed it -logged in on Pub 'mando and to my horror the armor had changed appearance to some nasty looking cr@p and to rub salt into the wound it was now 2 stat with aug, ffs why bother armormeching?
I mean can't sell anything because some dude on pot 5 likes selling purp chest pieces with aug for like 10k, he must have some mats saved up coz it costs me more than that to find the blasted recources with crew missions.
So can't sell anything and cant cross faction trade without it screwing the item - what use is armormech?
Someone in general chat was kind enough to explain that this is standard with cross faction trades - ok - cant we have some warning text stating - the armor may change to some random gastly appearence and you may lose stats - DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED, that type of thing.
I had been enjoying crafting until this point but this sorta *****ed it for me.
