[bug] Class Mission item reward requiring expansion.

Since this hasn't been reported and I searched as well, I would go ahead and file it under the bug reports section of swtor.com.  Just mainly if it is a bug those reports are looked at by the devs vs CSR or other forum users.

I have flagged this thread for onforwarding to the studio

@Rumeel87 Hi,

Thanks for the report, I have passed it on.

Going forward, as @Belgorad pointed out, if you are a subscriber, it would be great if you could report bugs such as this one in-game by typing /bug. Or head on over and post on the Bug Report Forums.

Cheers,

Nils

Hi there.

I am not a subscriber, so this is the place where I can report these.

I am here to report that this bug is still in game and I have seen it happen with other classes, not only smugglers and it is with pratically every weapon item reward. Armor itens seem to be working well. 

Thanks.

hi there! i am having this issue too with both of my characters. i havent been able to equip any light sabers since i got my first one!! all of them say they require rise of the hutt cartell expansion. is there any way we can fix this? verry frustrating

@Ace_of_jacks1

There is no current work around.  This thread was from a time when a lot of players were getting this so they had to push a patch to fix a lot of items.  Is this issue happening to every light saber you get including the one from when you first leave the starter planet?  The one that can be modified?

yes, the only one i've been able to use so far is the first one you get. none of the other ones will equip, it says requires expansion hut cartell

@Ace_of_jacks1

Try emailing support@swtor.com with this information to see if they can assist.  This would be the avenue to take if your not a subscriber to submit an in-game ticket.

how is this still a thing??? in late 2017?

if this was a bug, why is it still a thing? i just returned to the game, as preferred (from subbing only at launch) and completing nar shaddah level 26-30ish i get back to my ship and complete that class quest storyline for that planet... my reward (weapon) requires hutt dlc...

this is so sad. all my armor/gear is rated like 80+ and my weapon is rated 46, and the new one that requires the hutt dlc isn't even much better (54)...

so are we supposed to go buy weapons for 1-50 story f2p/preferred now???

where can we get decent (green) weapon for 1-50? the market has none.. and no NPC vendors selling green BOE's

and pathetic a preferred player gets no customer support except if they have trouble launching the game..

@shhfiftyfive

This is odd as I thought this was ironed out in one of our previous patches, but it looks like the fix needs to be applied to each item separately, and has been done in these patches:

http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/6132017/game-update-5.2.2

http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/1272015/game-update-4.0.3

In this case it looks like your item is one of those that hasn't had the fix applied yet. If you're leveling up and need a weapon upgrade, I'd recommend using a modifiable weapon (orange quality) and buying the mods for it from vendors on the Fleet, or the GTN.
