y, i count only old sh1ts, not the brooch system (which JP classic has btw, also hope it will never come here)
coz its sh1t it gives very noticable boost, so you are pretty much forced to do it (or buy it since the augs weapons are tradable, thanks god), there is no thrill of failing like in enchanting, i honestly dont see anything good in augmentation, it was sh1t and annoying in old chronicles (EEs/BPs running with 4 nuke weapons, every DD had to have refresh+clarity+duel might actives, you had to get yourself celestial/heal active if you wanted to be competitive in oly), so i see no reason why it is any good and argument that it will at least bring pvp for this bosses which drop LS, well, i think ppl would go there even if they gave just xp on this server
