I know you can use runes at L15, but it makes no sense to me for single digit level gear to have rune slots if you can't use them.
 
I started a new toon and running thru Celestion I noticed the gear gained from coming in at the portal to Woodhaven, they have one or two rune slots.  Even the gear won via challenges have rune slots.  But I looked at the Engraving Station, it stated I didn't have the levels required, yet I could buy a weakened rune at Sylvan Glade's vendor machine.  However, I couldn't equip it, wasn't L15.
 
Why have gear that a L6, L7, on up to L14 can wear with rune slots yet cannot be runed?  It makes absolutely no sense.  By the time L15 is gained, these pieces of gear will have been replaced.
 
Speaking of gear, why are levels not on them any longer?  I'm seeing implants, weapon attachment, as well as armour and weapons without any levels on them.  Right now on my L8, her gear has no levels on them.  I just looked at my spouse's L33, gear and such don't have any levels.  Was the reason for no levels given somewhere and I missed it?

for the rune slots they seem to just have a generic formula determining slots.Like right now crafted = 2 slots + 1 additionalEven the purple crafts that require patterns and materials from raid content follow that ruleCarbine's itemization department is really amateur hour but in your case at least it doesn't actually hurt anything.
It's odd too because J-tal seems pretty on the ball but so much ridiculousness keeps getting throughHere's hoping that muscley dude that is doing a full gear rework for drop 4 is doing his homework...Looking forward to something that's going to make the majority of my gear trash heap worthy, how oddas far as levels, It looks like they removed level requirements from quest reward gear.Apparently they decided if your high enough level to accept and complete a quest your high enough level to use the gear
