There should be an option for a crafter of that item type to "recraft" any item for a chance to add an augment slot. Would make crafters more useful. Plus, some sets don't have orange versions that can be crafted.

You would still need the mods from the flashpoint drops to get decent gear. How is it making your drops useless, exactly? You can't craft R58 mods/armoring/etc. from my experience.

It destroys the entire idea, and puts us in the current situation of it all being clone wars, because people are all using the same augment slotted orange gear. There are allready different visual flavours for orange gears (e.g. there are 2 different lightsabers for every class just with different visuals). It's much more diverse compared to the PVE/PVP sets. So i dont really see that point.

I've been a Synthweaver from launch and I'm not really sure the need for crits on orange gear in the first place. We get 2 t3 pieces of ops gear of which you can crit to have an augment slot, we don't need all of our armor to be riddled with augments. Aside from that, the OP is correct. People want to be diverse in what their options are for gear appearance, but if they make orange gear critable the armor crafting proffesions will be extremely over-powered. They're already taking steps to help with customizability by allowing players to take the mods out of ops gear and putting it into oranges of their choice. That in itself is the benefit of crafting an orange, the ability to pick your looks, having a chance at an augment slot shouldn't be an addition.

crit gear will soon die... or this change will be reversed because bioware isnt going to make new tier gear when crit orange gear is better, and it will make a big difference if everyone has an aug slot in raids or pvp min/max people will rejoice i dont think bioware is THAT stupid
