This really makes me nervous when it comes to the implementation of the PvP update 2.4....

I am not kidding, I'm beyond scared what these guys are going to come up with....

First, I am going to be moving this thread to the PvP forum and out of the PTS forum since it is still relevant outside of that specific PTS period. I talked to the combat guys to get clarification on this. The current pricing of ranked mods and enhancements is by design. The reason is that PvP players in general have less access to a variance in gearing, especially compared to PvE players. The purpose of these mods is to allow players another method of min/maxxing their gear. This will allow you to get access to the full gear set fairly quickly and then allow a new set of customization for the min/maxxer after that.

While it can be cheaper to purchase the bulk item, that would only work if the mod or enhancement is actually available on an item. Having all the varieties of mods & enhancements purchasable separately will allow PvP players the option to itemize themselves in mods/enhancements that are not found on the standard sets.

With that being said we will continue to monitor item costs. Hope that clears things up!

Translation:
"When we released 2.0 we knew we wouldn't have any new PvP content for you for a while, so we purposefully made min/maxing very expensive in order to give hardcore PvPers "busy work" while buying ourselves time. This is also why we made PvP gear progression so bad (players with Elite War Hero Gear couldn't use Partisan gear at all until they had a complete set min/maxed because of non-stacking set bonuses, unwanted secondary stats, and lolbolster), and why we made bolster so confusing (We'll keep you guessing and experimenting which type of gear is actually BIS for months)!"

Not sure if BW is just too damn stubborn defending their weird decisions.
