If the total stats were unchanged it wouldnt be a problem, but that wasnt the original post. From what I understand the idea was to have some kind of trade off for freeing up buffspace. If the idea was to just trade in your combine armor and faction aug to get a super aug at no loss, people would most likely be on board. It also doesnt solve the problems of people who lack a faction aug(some nerd boxed them in the wrong zone), or the problem of losing 50 atk(unless you code it to be overcap worn atk). It doesnt help that a lot of classes dont care about gaining a buffslot very much, especially with the inflated hp pools of 2.5.You guys are acting like (if this were to happen) the stats on that aug couldn't be changed to match 240 hp/mana etc, etc. If you're going to already eat up an aug slot + two potential buff slots for combine, I don't see why having the combine buffs + dragon/giant faction aug stats all rolled into one place is a bad idea. You keep the same amount of augs as you normally would while freeing up two potential buff slots.
