The subject line pretty much states it. Why would I spend 250k on legacy oranges when I can just apply those same modifications to a lvl 20 item and have the same stats?
Whats the point of replacing Orange Gear?

Appearance, mainly. A lot of people will spend a lot of time grinding to get their favorite toon to look a certain way.

Also those legacy oranges cover slots that are difficult to find normally like bracers.

No it is not my first MMO. I started in DAoC for 3 years, then played WoW from BC through RS. When gearing in the above mentioned games, the harder to find or obtain items normally meant stat increases. People had visual suits especially the epic weps from BC, but they weren't viable as a proper end game suit. It just seems odd that when you hit top level, you've already had the possibility to have BiS stats with a none 50 level item.

I can understand however that orange bracers are hard to come by, this is correct. But are there really people who dump 2mil credits just to match their gear? I am just having a hard time understanding the end game gearing in this game.

This game is so much more focused on the 'Role Playing Game' part of MMORPG. And seeing how the appearance of your character is actually a part of role playing, I can understand. Some people just keep comparing & comparing. If you don't like the point of upgrading orange gear, keep yours & switch the mods inside. Also as mentioned before, the bracers are hard to come by otherways.

I personally avoid orange gear, the planet quests you do, just don't give enough commendations to fully mod out your gear, i will just stick to standard gear crafted, having to look for 5-7 armorings, mods and enhancements every 7-10 levels is not my idea of fun or worthwhile.
