I think you're right.

That is probably part of it. But at the same time I don't think it's the only reason. A lot of people (myself included) will slot level 50s simply because they are the "best" irregardless of the added cost or the fact that it means a lack of set bonuses when exemping down.

I think it's mental, too. I team with a guy a pretty good bit and when he seen i was farming 49's he ******* the whole time that he was getting level 49 recipe drops. lol. Then 5 minutes later he got a purp drop. I was like, SEE, that 1 drop is worth more than 50 level 49 OR 50 drops. (50 maybe exagarrated, but you know what i mean)

That's me. For me it's largely mental, and not a supply or impatience issue. 50s are the best, so that's what I slot. It doesn't matter that they're the best by only the slimmest of margins, and that the cost for that tiny improvement is huge. Now, I'll certainly recommend that people without my mental defects buy something a little lower level, but I won't follow my own advice.

You're not alone in your passionate pursuit of perfection. I'll spend a lot just to improve just a tiny bit. I have so few characters and out of my few 3 are constantly being improved just a small fraction of a % here and there. Kind of like when Positron is working on his armor and says he can improve his range by 1.5% lol and Manticore and Synapse say that's all his has lol.
