This is referring to boosted Enhancements.
Agreed! Maybe even more now with the fix to 6 year old problem and people wanting to change things around, which includes xfering IOs to new characters!

Don't see how this is a 6 year old problem. I never heard of people trading ++ TO's, DO's, or SO's. Combined Hami's have never been trade-able so you can't lose the bonus, and IO's were never boostable until after Freedom launched.
Not against the suggestion just saying this is the first I've heard of it being a problem.

You used to be able to gift them to other players by using the drag-and-drop method. Doing so stripped the +'s and reverted it to a standard Hami-O. I don't think that's been possible for quite some time though.|

You also used to be able to put them into base storage and pass them along that way. One of the recent changes to bases broke something, so they blocked you from putting combined Hami-Os in the bins.
The new auto-sorting of bins adds an extra "feature" to combined Hami-Os: If you have two Hami-Os in the same bin that are identical, except for a + or ++ on one of them (I have a Synthetic Nucleus 50 and a Synthetic Nucleus 50+ in my bin), the system can't decide which should come first, and rapidly swaps their positions. Rather amusing to watch. ;P

Thank you for that information. I was unaware Hami's were having those issues. The few times I went on Hami raids I sold or gave away my drops to people that actually used them. My dislike of big raids was stronger than my desire for HO's. The same feeling keeps me away from Incarnate content. |

Yes + and ++ HOs are stripped of their boosted abilities and reverted to regular strength HOs. It has been a problem ever since they were introduced and still has yet to be fixed which is rather irritating considering the *** load of INF that goes into boosting an HO to + and ++.

People are always assuming things are broken if they don't like how they work.

The same logic applies to people assuming things are WAI if they don't care how they work. Your guess happens to be supported by how the mechanics currently work, but absent a redname statement about combined Hami's, it's still just a guess about intent.|

Not that I care one way or another about the change; the only time I ever combined HOs was when I planned on keeping them on that character permanently anyway, even back when they could be gifted.
