You can't mod all armor.

Because it is obviously not about the stats. Its about the cosmetics.

It doesn't make the 'need' any less valid.

I am actually loving this aspect of SWTOR!!! Now, when I find good mod-able gear I like, I can keep it forever.

What a fascinating series of viewpoints (and self-justification)...

In other words, the appearance of your character (and all those untradable mods you just snapped up) is at least as important as the extra 5-20 points of my main stat that you are trying to deprive me of? Just... Wow.

On the first page of this thread there is a post about going back and getting the item later. Is there some reason that you need this look now? There's certainly a reason I need the stats now. I find this particularly fascinating in a game where people hit the level cap in 4 days and now have all the time in the world to go back and pick up drops for a specific look...

As for grabbing something for crafting, I can at least see a reason that you'd need to be able to RE and learn something while it is still pertinent....

I suppose that I should not be surprised by all this "gimme, gimme" given the general way people responded to the waves of EGA though. Kinda goes hand in hand with the Jedi I keep seeing with names like Massextinction... For all people seem to love Star Wars it seems there's a lage contingent that don't grok some basics.

I think ppl with correct stats for the item should have priority, and you get 2nd priority but thats difficult as there is only need and greed.

So in a game, where the majority of good stuff is just cosmetic, as you can mod it, your are depriving me.... blah blah BOOM POW....

The justification for your tears is funny.

So the way your character looks impacts your ability to do things in game? Stats certainly do. Or do you really not get that the ability to mod things relies on the mods and that the item you are taking has mods in it which you cannot then give to the guy who rolled need for the stats?

Yeah, I can take any armor I want and put in spiffy mods. What you're trying to do is justify rolling need on those mods because you like the wrapping they came in.

/sigh

THIS! The hell happened to that? That sounded like a great idea. Did they really take it out just because some tool decided he missed the b/s drama that came with rolling on loot?

/sigh ... I hate humanity

Hmm.

So I have decided to use orange chest, legs, and blaster. I am not 100% satisfied with my legs or blaster, and after 15 levels I'm getting tired of my chest piece. Unfortunately there are none available on the AH.

If I am not allowed to roll on orange gear unless every single stat isn't dedicated to my class, how am I ever going to get different pieces?

Seems to me, that someone who thinks he should be able to roll on every single class specific piece, plus every single orange piece (just because it randomly has some mod in it), is the one being a little greedy.
