Mk 8 electrobinoculars salvage

I dont have Palp, but I do have Yoda. But the mk8s dont have the green dot beside them that all other gear (thats needed by a toon) has.

I just went in and saw that the mk8s are showing as a part of a salvage. But the little green dot isnt showing by the mk8s.

Either way though... Why have us farm a gear for months only to be used by 2 toons (that require an extraordinary amount of effort to even obtain?) There is no way 2 toons use 1000 pieces of that gear that we farm 5 times, 3 times a week.

I just dont get it. They should be asking for mk8s not mk9s. They almost completely skipped that gear. Talk about a useless piece of gear... I have almost 1000 of them with no way to sell them, and only 2 toons even use them...those 2 toons require 5 7* specific toons to even obtain them...

Just another thing that EA does that makes no sense... God forbid they do something logical.
