Our inventories are being reduced by half and you want them to keep +2 and +3 items? No thanks.

It was bad enough going out and gathering and having 4 slots of the same item for several different items. Currently, all HQ items have the stats of what +2 used to be, so it's not a big loss even having those +3s getting converted down to +1. Also, all HQ items have the same amount of quality that they add towards the synth to work towards HQing the synth, so it's really a non-issue.
