So it won't be in 1.2? Sigh. Another bump so BW realizes how much of a failure this upcoming patch would be.

It is unfathomable to me how someone didn't just throw out the idea of having synthweavers/armormechs create a consumable that adds an augment slot to a piece of gear. If they did that, then added some new orange schematics that had cool looks only available from them, those two crew skills would've instantly been viable, and none of these potential problems like asking people to RE raid/pvp gear would even exist.

It's baffling.

You only think about things that have happened? You must be the most dangerous person behind the wheel of a car I've ever heard of.

This needs to change.
This is what I don't get, granted this isn't.a.smart change but why is everyone talking about low level oranges?

You do.realize there are lvl 50 armors right? Granted there are only like 2 orange sets, but they are there, and honestly they look a hell of a lot better then the cent/champ/BM in many cases.

this would be a nice thing to add actually. also gives some more incentive for people to try the ranked warzones.

the only issue i see is that the time to acquire these pieces would have to be balanced with the time required to get a crit crafted orange piece. if not people will qq lots, and you will see tons of afkers in ranked warzones which is no good

Have to ask, what's the incentive to do ranked?

You realize.you can get War Hero from non-ranked and the ranked is only a recolor of it right?

Yeah I wold love to have augment slot on ranked wear hero gear. Maybe someone doesn't like it (I do tbh) but it's prestigius gear anyway, so I bet most top rated pvpers would like to wear it.
