It was BioWare's "Inflation Reduction Act". When the Aug prices skyrocketed to the Billions, people cried their hearts out. So, BW changed the PvP bolster. Everybody gets bolstered down to the 336 PvP armor lvl without Augs. So, wearing 344 PvE armor with 300 augs don't help. If you think about it, it's actually fair. So, every time I see my teammates in their little 344 PvE armors I know we are f!@#$%. Unless Broadsword changed things, I think still it's the case.
