Because you'd be able to change the enhancement values of a power in order to maximize the benefit of it. For example, you could take RotP and have it slotted for recharge while you're alive. When you die, you could change the slotting to acc and damage. It's not really the most cost effective way to improve performance, but, iirc, that's the given reason from way back.

your post reminds me of a certain movie review by The Nostalgia Critic. This one I think to be precise: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...st-for-camelot
The Nostalgia Critic reviews the movie Quest for Camelot, and is angered by the constant non-sequitur events the viewer of the movie endures. As the film progresses even further into the depths of just doing "stuff" with no motivation, fore-shadowing, or even basic development, the Nostalgia Critic's anger increases. Finally, The Nostalgia Critic explodes, exclaiming EXPLAIN MOVIE! EXPLAIN?!?! while being accompanied with the visuals of video feeds from various explosive tests.
In the same way, I can't help but read your post with the same thought. There's absolutely no explanation. Just a simple subject line, and then a post with one word repeated 3 times.
The question is raised then, why is being unable to work enhancements will in a defeated state "Lame" to begin with? Does the prevention somehow go against the story of the play at that point in time, when you are defeated and helpless? Would not it make logical sense that in a defeated state you would be at your enemies mercy?
If you have to make some sort of enhancement change that is absolutely critical after you died, what's wrong with going to the hospital. Seriously, is hitting Hospital or Base really that hard to do?
I'm sorry, but your post makes absolutely no sense, and I doubt you have any actual justification for it outside of not being able to check your combat numbers while in a defeated sate.

I can't speak for the OP, but for my part I've found it to be irritating while I'm teaming. There have been a number of times while faceplanted and waiting for the chaos to die down so that I may spring back to my feet, that I notice I have a full enhancement bar and say to myself "now would be a good time to use those rather than doing it at an inopportune moment that would cause a hold up" only to be reminded that such a convenience is not possible. It's not as annoying an inconvenience as, say, the annoying pointlessly forced trips to the trainers, but it is a minor irritation.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end

problem is... you are DEAD! how many things other than lie there can you do while you are dead? and no, i don't get why you can hand off insps while dead. that doesn't make sense either.

My bar says PIESR+ if you look at it like that. This becomes PIES R +
Pies is the plural of Pie.
R is another way of saying "are"
And + means good.
Thus, Pies are good.

This is new right? I noticed this just last night. Had a full tray of enhancements. Needed to wait for the mob to be cleared to rez and double clicked like always. Yet nothing happened...
Thought it was a bug cause I could swear we could do it for the past 5 years.
When did it change?
Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!
been that way for the 3 yrs i've been playing.
Wait... Dead ? I thought it was "arrested" ? Or is that just for the bad guys....

Personally I still think it's a really bad thing. I mean, if someones that obsessive about min-max efficiency (and thats even being harsh to the min-max crew) that they carry around a tray full of stuff like acc, damage and recharge SOs or whatever just to slot into, say, RotP, well...more power to 'em, I say...
If it's because people might miss rez prompt, they do that anyway. Some daft idjit will wander afk while I waste Rez on him, while I could have rezzed the guy next to him, who could then have done something useful.
(Sorry. Pet bugbear on my fender is people using;
a) Any sort of rez before I have time to hit them with Vengeance
b) A wakie when rez is charged
c) Being afk when I use rez, effectively wasting it and meaning it might be down when we actually need it in future. )

Being dead doesn't seem to prevent you from chatting with your mates, trading inspirations and enhancements and watching your powers recharge, it doesn't prevent you from seeing your map, it doesn't prevent you from reading your clues and I'm pretty sure it doesn't prevent you from speaking with contacts. If we're going by what makes sense, if all of the above do, then shouldn't managing your enhancements make sense when you're dead, too?

you can already manage your enhancements when dead though. it's called right click and delete. depending on your origin and the contact arc you chose, you aren't going to get anything you can use 60% of the time anyways. and if you bought what you needed and didn't slot it before hand that is your fault not the games.

As I said - if the argument is that it doesn't make sense, then it makes about as much sense as being able to do all the other things you shouldn't be able to do when you're currently dead. Outside of "why bother," what does it hurt to let us?
