As for the HQ item changes :

+1, +2, +3 Gear = No changes needed!
+1, +2, +3 Parts = No changes needed!
+1, +2, +3 Mats = These should just go to NQ or +3, the +1 and +2 just fill up inventory.

I can't believe they would do something as stupid as removing the different + ratings for equipment. Alot of people have worked really hard to make +1/+2 equipment, and they are just going to wipe that out?
