I feel like no matter how many times we repeat ourselves, you're not going to understand why this isn't about us trying to get-one-over on the system, we have been working within the confines of the design of the system since day one - now that SE adjusts our entire gameplay, without adjusting our gear to match this new expectation, the job is supremely less effective and absolutely unwelcome by the people SE should be listening to, the people 'paying' to play BST for the last decade.
Seriously... who cares what the armor LOOKS LIKE. It might as well be a wet paper bag for all the difference it makes to actual damage taken.
