Quote The implementation of more custom armor and adaptive social gear is great.



However, at end game these cool features are moot for the majority of the population. This is because Columi and Rakata armor mods do not retain their set bonuses, only Campaign armor mods do.



The majority of us are forced to make a terrible choice: do you want your two/four piece set bonuses...or do you want to personalize your playing experience with custom gear?



The challenge of HM EC (and, to be frank, the smaller player populations) makes completing HM EC a long and difficult journey--which is great from the perspective of a player who wants progression to be a challenge. (Many of us do!) But it also sucks from the perspective of a player who wants to be able to customize the look of their character without the expense of losing effectiveness in PvE. (Many of us also do!)



So here are two key points I want to make for you, Bioware:



1. I think you assumed the majority of the players who already had Columi/Rakata would continue on through to get Campaign gear just as easily. This has not been the case. The majority of us haven't been able to take advantage of 1.2's biggest and coolest feature because we're not able to get Campaign Drops. So right now the majority of us are thinking: “Who cares if we can wear adaptive social gear in 1.3? At level 50 we're still going to have to take it off until we can get Campaign equivalent gear if we want set bonuses.”



2. I understand that, from a game design perspective, there is no easy way to inherently change Rakata/Columi Armor mods to have the set bonus. The gear is already on our characters. Between that and players customizing with new mods it makes it difficult. So with that in mind, I'm not asking that Columi and Rakata Gear Mods maintain their set bonuses.



Instead what I'm asking for is A Work Around . Give us a way to trade in our Colmi/Rakata armor mods for equivalent pieces that retain their set bonuses. Let us trade "Columi Armor Mod A" for "Columi Armor Mod B", so we can actually use the features you keep talking about.
