Yeah, but not always 1 stat, I go based off a few stats. they would need to create a drop down that covers about 3-5 different stats that are all selectable.
For example. I switched out an armor because it had better leg protection. Overall I lost 2 armor. but I didn't need 40+ chest armor as much as I needed 20+ leg. So it really depends on a few things. If this item gave a couple more points into chest and not the leg. I would have ignored it.
Simple put, never let a game tell you what to wear. If you can't figure this out then I'm not sure what to say. And before you go saying, you can make smart decisions based on what it says. Think about the many, many, other players who wont/can't do this. Because they will be programming themselves to equip the glowing items.
I stay with my disagreement
