Every person u see spamming has tested mods on shields and weapons. The only reason people buy un-ided items is for the title.

IF you couldnt check them before selling then you'd see bunch of people spamming outrageous prices for unided items.

well that's not entirely true as all the items i use came from i was buying unid stuff. while i don't have any ultra rare stuff like elementals, most of the items i have aren't that common either. i've also bought enough superior vigor runes at 1k from unid armors to outfit 45 of my heroes and 13 of my character armors with superior vigors.

if you find someone selling mass unids at a time, many of them don't bother taking the time to test as that would just slow them down too much.

If I buy UNID's it would be for title only. And if you *really really* think you can get nice items this way.. buy them UNID and test them youself, then sell the unwanted ones to someone who just cares about title. Win win.

Well, you all know that items can be tested. And you all only buy UNID's for the title. But I'm talking about the general population of the game, they don't know it can be done, they buy them for the possibility of getting a good item for a cheap price. So it doesn't matter that they are ignorant to what is being done or anything else that has been said in here. I'm just wondering why is there such a think as UNID'd weapons if they aren't really UNID'd. If it was truely UNID'd, then if it was a sword and you see it saying req 9 and 11-22 dmg, when you equip it, that is all that you can see. It gives that type of dmg when hitting things, it wouldn't up your HP if it did secretly have a HP+ mod on it, etc... Defeats the whole purpose of being UNID'd.

So talk about titles and such are meaningless to this discussion, just wondering if we can block anything that isn't shown on the screen or block the ability of equiping UNID'd weapons, that's all. Discussions other than that are off topic and are counter productive.

it'll work for me either way as if they change it where you can't test, unid prices will go up. if they don't, well it'll be how it is now so its fine.

and for my previous statement, it does take a long time to find good items. when i was buying unids for the title i would probably get a good item or a rare skin that was inscribable or perfect stats every 50-75 unids or so.

Not being able to see/use items because they're UNID is a bit flawed. It's like having an unknown liquid.. drink it and risk getting poisoned even though it was UNID, while you could still by trial/error or other means figure out what it would be.

Anyway, Enko is right. If you couldn't equip or test UNID items, prices would go up so it would be ok anyway.

I've played the game since 1 month after it came out and I had no idea you could test rares beforehand. I also don't think everyone spamming to sell has tested the items as i *have* gotten perfect fortitude and energy mods on unids before.

Any comments Gaile?

For RPers just say that if you do not know the powers of your equipment, you cannot harness those powers.
