VR1 and Level 50 Items Not Compatible

You hit VR1 directly after 49. It is Level 50. But it isn't.

I commissioned a set of gear for a good bunch of gold, then used the last of my VR1-VR3 Potency Runes to make glyphs for the armor, so I would be set to do stuff tonight....

Except-... the armor is "Level 50" and the Glyphs are "VR1-VR3".

There should not be a distinction. There should not be level 50 Armor if there is no level 50. I am so tired of the VR system and cannot wait until it is gone, but what am I supposed to do right -now-...?

    This is still an issue. Why am I having to commission a 2nd set of gear? I do not have the gold to just throw away at useless gear because the gearing / crafting and armor system is a gigantic steaming mess.

    It's hardly worth the effort making level 50 gear....or every level gear. Level 50 is a strange one since it's really VR1. Better to make the gear at the start of a new material level. VR 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-14, 15-16. More worth it on Void materials as it covers a larger span VR 9-14. I rarely mess with the enchants on lower level gear as I don't find many potency runes to use on them anyways.

    Do you think this reply helps with the OP's exact issue though? After all, it was posted in the "General Help" section.

    My suggestion is to send in a ticket so that it can be resolved in a future patch.

    Well see I said it was for my new level 50 character, but then specified later I wanted it at VR1 even though I didn't at the time see a difference between the two or expect there to be one.

    So there was no intent on my side to receive level 50 rather than VR1 gear.

    And I can't place any blame on the crafter for thinking the two were the same since they ARE.
