I wanted to make a suggestion regarding the addition of Perfected Weapons in some of ESO's older content; specifically where no alternative was available in normal mode. I think this is a great opportunity to re-evaluate several gear options and create a rewarding playing field.
Imperfect Items:
These items are available in Normal Content, only where Perfected Items are dropped on harder modes, and have all of the same base-attributes. However, they can not be upgraded past rare (Blue) quality.
As someone who has not done anything beyond vMA difficulty, I feel this is a fair alternative, allowing me to at least have a version of more powerful gear; while rewarding those who do organized progression.
