Tier level on items

Why are you removing the tier from an item after it has been identified?

Would be nice to find a T<n> item and still being able to apply mods while those cannot be lower than T<n>.

Tier should be permanent.

But isn't it that the hihger chance for higher mods results from a tier<n> item not being able to have lower level mods than <n>?
According to that it should not be possible to cast a t1 mod on a tier2+ item, right? But this is what happens.

Tier 2 Rare items now drop 4x more often. Tiers 3 to 5 now drop 30% more often. The modifiers of Tiered Rares have also been improved by cutting out more low level modifiers making them better on average than before.
Tier 2 and higher Magic items now drop around 5x more often. The low level modifier culling of Tiered Magics has been significantly improved with Tier 2 now culling 50% of the modifier range, and improving from there. Tier 5 magic items will usually only roll the highest modifier available for a given type. This means that Tiered Magic items should be a much better starting point for crafting or Recombination.
