While the concern is valid, I don't think it's that bad.

Destroyed as in , you'll never get to use that item as gear again. If you ever see yourself using a particular item as gear and not glamour, do not dresser it. However, if you have a hat that looks good but is level 1 and you don't think you'll care about using it on retainers or Squadron members soon, go for it. Keep in mind they've announced plans for it to be usable on your NPC friends eventually.. but that is also "Soon™", so I wouldn't hold your breath on that part.
The doom and gloom crowd still mystifies me , the system is usable . Agreed it's not optimal, but it's not unusable by any measure.
