This has been asked time and time again in the forums since ESO launch and has never been answered by ZOS. I for one see no reason why a Master Crafter should not have the capability to change traits on armor or weapons. Why ZOS has continued to ignore this request or even address it is beyond me.

Even if this meant only crafters could upgrade their own items, this would be a lot better.Chuggernaut wrote: »
The biggest issue I can see is the would need to code around the bound equipment issue to make this profitable for crafters.
Unless the forge to do this was at the end of a trials run and you could only use it once per run. But if they did that, so many players with low level alts crafters would yell and scream.That would make rerunning trials for gear obsolete! If everyone could take that one item they wanted and got with a crappy trait, but had the ability to change that crappy trait to one they wanted would give them no reason to run the dungeon 100 times.
I would love the ability to change existing traits instead of having to re-craft new armor but I doubt we'll ever get it.
